Such a wonderful cabin on the lake. Comfortable, clean and right in the lake. So close to town, very quiet with a dock to moor your boat. Would come back and do it all over again.

Property well maintained and fully stocked with easy access to the lake and lovely views. Very comfortable downstairs main bedroom. 1 room had a sort of bunk bed set-up so quests have to be comfortable sleeping against the wall with a bed above them. Also not for anyone with trouble with stairs.
Overall, we really enjoyed it and would not hesitate to rent again.

Liked: Communication, location
Disliked: Check-in, listing accuracy
did not recieve text with door code until we called and e mailed at 7pm. When we arrived, 2 smoke detector battery alarms were beeping, and something connected to security system alarm was going off. I reset the smoke detectors and batteries were change the next day. I spent half the morning cleaning outdoor furniture to be even remotely usable. The driveway is collapsing and parking was a challenge, which we didnt know about until we got there. The grill was not clean.

Thank you for sharing your feedback. We’re very sorry for the inconvenience you experienced at check-in and during your stay.
We would have been happy to come out and help with the smoke detectors and clean the outdoor furniture and grill.
We pride ourselves on providing excellent service, and on this occasion, we failed to meet our expectations. We truly hope that your future travels allow us an opportunity to restore your faith in our service.

We arrived to a dirty house and outside porch area. We had to scrub the mildew off the tables and chairs for 1 hour then to find out there were no cushions.... This place is so dark it was hard to make breakfast.(no working bulbs in fan) It got to 50 DEGREES and the cabin only had OLD wall heaters...THAT DID NOT WORK. HAD TO KEEP THE OVEN OPEN FOR HEAT. Please do not rent this Rusty ole duck...you'll be glad you didn't..
Cozy property perfect for our needs. S’mores in the evening, water sports during the day, and a perfect porch swing to unwind. We liked how the master is on a lower level than the rest.
