Cabin in heaven

This was the most peaceful, beautiful, and quiet setting I have ever been to! The lake was really nice. The water was so clear. The cabin was very comfortable and had everything we needed. This was one of my top vacations all because of the wonderful stay at banjo bungalow. The owner was very quick to answer my text. We will definitely stay there again.

Getaway

We wanted a quite, secluded getaway and this was exactly what we wanted. The cabin is nice and clean, kitchen has everything you need to cook and prepare food. The lake is beautiful and clean, sitting at the fire pit was so relaxing, we will definitely be going back in the future.

Peaceful

We stayed across the water in a Julie’s bigger home. This one fit us perfectly. We were allowed to bring our dogs and they enjoyed it all the space was great. Husband love takeout the most to finish. The deer were everywhere. We love the outdoors so it’s perfect as I said for us.

Beautiful property

The property was amazing! Very secluded and serene! The cabin is just that, a cabin. There is no indoor heating, just space heaters and a gas fireplace without ventilation. The first night we got there late and it was freezing. After texting with Julie I was told there is not a heater but to use the space heaters and fireplace. The space heaters would have taken long so we used the fireplace but the fumes were so bad we ended up getting sick and leaving a day early. Also the cabin was pretty dirty: cobwebs, dead bugs inside the cupboards, dirty dishes put away. The bed and couch are a bit rough too. If you are looking to go to a place and mostly be outdoors, this place is sufficient! I would only suggest it during the cold season

About the host

Hosted by Julie Gross

Our large and growing family needed more room so we purchased this second property on this shared private lake to accommodate our overflow of family and friends.

Why they chose this property

Nature, peaceful, water access and views and plenty of wide open space.

What makes this property unique

Banjo may not be the fanciest cabin around but she is cozy and we have something that other rentals don't have which is peace and quiet and seclusion that you won't find in other areas.
