We stayed at the Painted Turtle for a girls' cabin weekend and had the absolute best time. The house is well-equipped, clean, and just adorably decorated. We found everything to be in working order and very comfortable. Loved having access to the hot tub, sauna and movie room! Would highly recommend.

If you’re looking for a perfectly hygge winter escape, this is it. The amenities of the sauna, outdoor hot tub, wood burning fireplace and lake access were perfect. The decor and overall vibe of the cabin is truly something special. Easy and thorough communication with the hosts. This place is a dream. Thank you!
