Cosy cabin in a wonderful setting

Great location. Beautiful lake that is not too big and not too small, completely surrounded by woods. Homey, cosy cabin. If you're into cooking, it has a full-size oven/stove, an outdoor BBQ and an abundance of kitchen equipment. Several good supermarkets and a butcher in town with locally-sourced, quality produce. If you're a runner, there's a great wooded trail ideal for training, beginning in the town centre. Amazing sunsets viewed from the front sitting room and front porch.

Clean and comfortable

Enjoyed our stay; plenty of room and very easy to move in and relax. We had great weather to boat, fish, grill out and enjoy the campfire overlooking the water. There isn't really a beach area, but there are swimming rafts that you can swim out to to either lay in the sun or swim off of. Brian was very easy to work with and responded to my questions in a timely matter. We would definitely stay again.
