The property was exactly as described. Spotless and really like how all the light switches were labeled. Very quiet, what a wonderful place to enjoy a cup of coffee rocking on the porch. Kitchen had everything we needed for meal prep. Looking forward to a return visit.

We loved the cabin. It was nestled in the trees overlooking the lake! The front porch swing was so delightful! Our family enjoyed how the cabin was appointed, it had good quality beds and bedding. We all rested well and enjoyed our visit.
