"We had a wonderful stay for three nights as we were celebrating our daughter’s graduation in the area. The cabin is pristine, adorable, and well equipped with everything you need and so many fun things to do! We used the floating dock and did some fishing…played scrabble and darts and loved sitting on the deck and using the gas fire pit. Something for everyone! The neighborhood is very quiet and peaceful. Trevor was extremely responsive to all of my questions. Highly recommend!"

"The house was great, communication was fine, and the location worked well for us. Only issue was the third "bedroom" was a room without its own entry with a small couch that pulled out into foam pieces that made a small bed and that were very hard and uncomfortable. There were also only two bathrooms."
