There’s a lot going on in the small space! Cozy and rustic yet clean with modern amenities. The toilet shower combo is unusual, but beats having shared facilities like campsites have. Glamping at its finest!

Very kind hosts. Cute rustic cabin with Fife lake a few steps away. Quiet location and relaxing environment. The space is a little tight with shower situation a bit of getting used to, but manageable. Will try one of the larger cabins in the future. Walk to town with a breakfast place, Loon’s Nest, down the street. Definitely recommend their delicious homemade cranberry walnut bread.

Love this place! Second year of staying here and the owners are so great! Very clean and nice for families. The water is far enough away so you are not super paranoid all the time if you are traveling with little kids :) Highly recommend!

Just barely ready for summer guests, these hosts and the property were excellent. Lovely view of the lake, clean and well appointed cabins; even an upgrade! Nice lake for fishing and kept our boat at their dock.
