What a lovely little cabin at the lake! Place was clean and well stocked. Excellent location, steps to the water with a handy bottom. Beds were comfortable. We enjoyed the rafts, paddle boards and kayaks. We brought our dog and they had a crate and yard leash. Only negative was shower wasn't great. We would stay again.

My husband and I loved staying at this cottage for Memorial weekend with our dog Buddy. It was so cute and peaceful there. The fishing was great and the views were amazing. The neighbors were very friendly and we had such a wonderful time. We would love to come back and visit in the future.

Relaxing Stay.

This property is clean and has everything you need to relax and unwind. The deck overlooking Maple Lake was a great place to read a book and enjoy a glass of wine that was purchased at the near-by wineries. Plenty of restaurants and things to do in the area.
