Family fishing getaway

Excellent cabin for our family of 4. Very easy boat dock to use without having to worry about stumps or rocks on the approach. Well stocked kitchen for dining in, and several walkable resort bar/restaurants nearby. Exceptional communication with the owner. Zero complaints and will likely book again.

Loved being on the water!! The kitchen was well stocked for cooking, which was great! Nice to have two separated bedrooms, one for the teens and one for the parents. We all enjoyed a relaxing time. Communication with Greg throughout the week was appropriate and responsive!

Absolutely beautiful!!!

First, I must say the owners are absolutely the greatest. They made sure our stay at their cabin would be the best family experience ever. Fishing off the dock behind the cabin was excellent. Largemouth bass, crappies and bluegills were abundant. Kayaks were available for my daughters to roam around in the bay. We had such a great time! Wildlife all around, beautiful sunsets, great fishing, great host. We will return every year now forever!!!

Beautiful getaway

Very cute cabin. Clean, and neat. Well maintained. The kitchen was well stocked with what ever you need to prepare a meal. Greg was very nice and easy to talk to and get ahold of. The lake was beautiful, but there was some weeds but didn’t stop my granddaughter from swimming. Lots of toys for the water. Kayaks were a great hit, there is a hill to go up and down to the water so be prepared if you have bad knees . I would recommend this to anyone who wants a nice place to stay!

Amazing weekend!

This lake house provided us an amazing place to stay for the weekend. It is located on a dead end road in an amazing community. The small bay setting provided ideal dock and swimming areas for our children in calm waters. The short distance to Hayward provided many tourist opportunities. We would recommend this rental to anyone and will be planning to stay again in the future.
