Overall, property was good but a needs a lot of work
Bathroom needs repairs, light bulbs need to be replaced, the place needs a stove not just hot plates, view was beautiful, waterfront and deck were great
Perfect location on a lake, kayak right out your back door, drive the Alpine Loop, hike forever.
Comfortable home in a beautiful location with communicative owners. Close enough to town to pop in and pick up what you might’ve forgotten or have a meal. Fabulous access to the Alpine Loop and endless hiking.
Beautiful cabin right on the lake. Cabin is very spacious. Could fish off your own pier or could take out canoe or kayaks available on site. Will come again.
This is an amazing property! It was perfect for me and my husband. They had great communication with any questions or concerns. This is a 'duplex' type cabin. Though there is a door to the other side, it remains locked. We could hear the neighbors a little, but it was not bothersome. They were extremely nice family. I can not say enough about how amazing being on the lake was. They even had a couple of Kayaks available for use. We will defiantly be returning.

Breathtaking
Everything about this cabin is perfect. The inside was comfortable and decorated to be on the lake. The views of Lake San Cristobal are incredible. It's a great distance from Lake City which makes it nice to grab an ice cream and/or some grub. Parking was easy, unlocking the door was easy and the owners are so friendly. We would love to stay here again but this time for longer. Happy trails.
