"I have stayed at this wonderful cabin no fewer than four times now. And each time I just love it more and more. It’s the perfect size for two to four friends or 2 couples. What it lacks in space, it makes up in charm, comfort and location. And honestly, it’s not lacking space at all. It’s a great place with a wonderful deck and hot tub. We had perfect weather so were able to spend as much time outside as inside.But I think it would be super fun and cozy in the snowy winter too. (Hmmmm, I see another trip in my future) The hosts are very prompt to answer any questions you may have, check-in is a breeze and having access to a private beach and dock is a pretty sweet bonus too! The kitchen is well stocked, the beds are super comfortable and get this, the shower also has steam!!! I honestly can’t recommend this cabin enough."

"This place is great for a large group. It does have enough beds, rooms, sleeping spaces, and bathrooms as advertised. The deck is wonderful! The view of the lake is awesome. Early mornings out there are very peaceful and quiet. Having a hot tub on the deck is a bonus and the perfect spot for it. The kitchen is functional and stocked with spices, cooking utensils, etc. that allow cooking shared meals. There is plenty of glassware and dinnerware. A few additional positive notes: Evenings were very quiet around the property. No noise issues. There is a hiking trail 30 feet from the house. Loved the large family style tables for dining inside and on the deck. Though we didn’t travel with pets, it’s very nice that this rental provides the option. We easily fit 3 large vehicles in the driveway space."
