Perfect Family Getaway

There is something for everyone at this stunning Bay Lake retreat. Wonderful spacious cabin, games and beach for the kids and a gourmet kitchen for Grandma. The lake is great for fishing and watersports. Close to Rutgers resort for a quick getaway or spa day. Best thing about this years stay was the six year old skiing for the first time!

We had a wonderful stay! We reserved both cabins, and each was immaculate and so well stocked with amenities. The backyard was level and easy to navigate, which was especially helpful for my aging dad, and our teenage grandson had plenty to keep him entertained with all the fun activities provided. The setting was quiet and serene, making it a perfect getaway spot for our large family. We also had the pleasure of meeting the owner onsite, who was kind, and welcoming. We truly enjoyed our time here and would happily return!

Fabulous cabin!

What a perfect place for a family vacation! Ample space for eleven of us (plus seven more in cabin B). Well-appointed kitchen with everything you need to cook for an army, spacious bedrooms and comfortable beds. Between the lake activities, jumping from the sauna to the ice bath, making s'mores on the fire pit or playing board games in the game room, there was never a dull moment. We loved every minute of our stay. A special thank you to our host, John, for his kind hospitality. He made us all feel so welcomed and pampered. Can't wait to come back next year!

Unforgettable Stay on Bay Lake!We had an absolutely amazing time at this beautiful cabin on Bay Lake! From the moment we arrived, everything exceeded our expectations. The cabin was spotless, modern, and perfectly designed for comfort and relaxation. It felt like a true home away from home.The fishing was phenomenal. Bay Lake delivered big time! We caught everything from bass to panfish right off the dock and had the best time out on the water.What truly made our stay unforgettable was the exceptional hospitality. The host went above and beyond to make sure we had everything we needed. Super responsive, thoughtful, and genuinely welcoming.Whether you're looking to fish, relax, or just soak in nature, this place has it all. We can’t wait to come back!

Really great lake home!

We truly enjoyed our holiday weekend getaway at this house. Owners were quick to respond and provide so many additional touches (s’mores, firewood for bonfire, ample parking for boat trailer, dock, etc…). Hope to get an opportunity to stay here again. My husband says 6 stars out of 5, and I agree!

Wonderful Property!

This is our 8th trip to Bay Lake and this property is among the top we have stayed at. The views are great; the kitchen large and very usable; the cabin is large and was perfect for a group of 6. John and Matt are great hosts and checked in through out the week to make sure our stay was going well. We will be back again!

Great for the whole family

The cabin was perfect for our multi generational family. Games galore inside and out, we rented a pontoon from the Marina - highly recommended, but do it way ahead of time. The "cabin" is big and spacious with room to spread out and find "alone time" if needed. We're planning to go back next year, just loved it!
