Ice fishing trip

Great location, right on the lake- no steps down to the water. House is roomy and was great for 5 guys. Easy access to meta lake and to cranberry lake just down the road. Property manager was extremely helpful and responsive to questions prior to booking and was equally responsive during our stay for anything we needed. I would highly recommend.

We had a lovely New Year’s weekend at this place. The cabin was beautiful…..clean, kitchen was well equipped, nice big bathrooms, plenty of space for our group. I like that there’s a beach and you can walk right out to the water’s edge. I can’t wait to stay here in the summer. The host was quick with a response to my questions. All in all wonderful.

January Snowmobile Trip

Stayed over a 3-day weekend with a group of 6. Beautiful setting on lake, the beds were very comfortable, 2 baths were convenient and the property is clean and well-kept. Only downside was the water pressure was low when 2 showers ran at same time. Property is not on snowmobile trail, but you can ride the road 1.5 miles to catch it. Would like to visit again in summer!
