This cabin was perfect for our family of 4 and 2 dogs! The cabin was very well stocked with all the essentials and crazy amount of towels and rags!!! The fire pit had an amazing view overhead, the picnic table had an amazing view of the lake, and the hike down to the boat dock was always a blast with the dogs! The furniture and cabinets were stunning, the shower was amazing and always hot, the beds and blankets were all cozy! The owners were very friendly and willing to help us with anything we needed, which everything was already taken care of by them. Overall we will be back and absolutely enjoyed our stay here!
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.
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!
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!
Our kids had spring break so we traveled to be near the crystal mines in Mt Ida and Hot Springs. Perfect location near both. Beautiful cabin. Well stocked with kitchen supplies and extras, like toiletries and coffee.
Was a very nice place to stay at,you can get what you need like 14 minutes away,i would stay there again,only shortfall one bathroom that was small. Rest was great!
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.

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.
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.
