Lovely little dog-friendly cabin

We enjoyed our time at this cabin very much. So many extras included in our stay including use of the rowboats or canoes/kayaks and a sauna. The cabin had everything we needed to prepare basic meals and the water pressure was the best! We definitely look forward to coming back soon!

Cabin experience

We were in the area to visit family and friends. The cabins were central to the area and allowed us to try something new. They are located in a very quite area with several cabins located adjacent. The weather was nice enough to have only the screens in the window to enjoy the weather. The host for the campground came to greet us when we arrived and made sure we knew about cabin and how to use items within the cabin. If you have the chance go and visit.

Wonderful little cabin on the lake

I really enjoyed my time at the cabin. The cabin was clean and just the right size for one or two people. Being on the lake was a real treat. There are rowboats, canoes, kayaks, and stand up paddle boards available for guests to use for free during their stay. I really enjoyed kayaking up the Otter River and learning to standup paddle board in the lake. I’d definitely stay here again and have already recommended the cabins to my family.

A quiet scenic location adds to this property's charm. Our cabin was clean and adequately stocked with supplies. The fresh flowers and large chocolate bar were a nice touch. Christine was very helpful and always willing to make our anniversary stay a good one.

Great little cabin on a lake

At the end of a road on a lake, this place is quiet and beautiful. With various kayaks, paddleboards, canoe and boats, it's easy to get out on the water. Gracious property manager.
