This was a great place to stay and our dog absolutely loved being able to go outside and sniff around at everything. Throughout the day the sandhill cranes would come and visit which was very nice too. We'll definitely come back here.

Unclear as to why it was a 4 star versus a 4 star. The owner is disappointed int eh rating from either the system or the guest. We work for perfection and do not agree with the rating.

Perfect spot for a getaway

I and five other friends piled into this adorable cabin for a weekend and had the time of our lives! The kitchen was perfectly efficient and stocked with the tools and cookware we need. We had a great time sitting by the fire pit and star gazing on the dock. We'll definitely be back!

We loved the little brown cabin on the lake. We were looking for a getaway, and we found it. It was clean, peaceful, quiet and all we needed to relax. We loved canoeing on the lake and just sitting on the dock. We will definitely be back!
