A fraternity brother who I had not seen in 51 years recently reconnected. This was a great opportunity to catch up on almost half a century of life and do some picking too! The cabin was perfectly equipped, clean and comfortable. Thanks for everything!

Aside from being a nice cabin to stay in, the location was perfect. Not too far from all of the nature and hot springs someone would need!

We had a great time!

The cabin was great and perfect for my husband, me and are dog. It was like a home away from home! We were able to enjoy home cooked meals and really loved the video library! The rocks in the parking space and backyard were rough on our dogs paws but other than that, everything was perfect!

Beautiful views, private location, and close to the water

We loved our cabin stay and the property. The kids were super excited about staying in the woods and close proximity to waffles (them) and coffee (us). The water levels were high due to flooding and we found a safe place to stay with all the comforts of home.

Great getaway!

We enjoyed our time here. It’s mostly secluded, and described exactly as is. We enjoyed the games they had although many are missing pieces, but understandably so with so many people in and out. The washer/dryer is a blessing to go home with all clean clothes instead of a pile of dirty laundry! We enjoyed the kayaks as well. Great for just a relaxing getaway.

Great family weekend getaway spot

My family of four wanted a quick weekend getaway, and this spot was great. The cabin was the best stocked rental I’ve ever visited. The bathroom is quite small, but since we were out and about a lot it didn’t bother us. Would stay here again.

Relaxing Lake House

My husband and I were looking for a place to get away that was dog friendly. We enjoyed the kayaks, the bed was comfy, and the kitchen was well equipped. We only used downstairs, but hope to come back with our kids.

Overall we were very satisfied with our weeklong stay. Everything was as it appears in the listing. The property would get 5 stars if the fishing/kayak access were a little easier to get to. This is no fault of the owner/property management. Just know that if you have little ones or older ones with you, your trips up and down will be challenging/limited. Other than that, well worth the stay.
