About this property

3BR/2BA, Sleeps 10, Lakefront Cabin w/Private Pier, Firepit, Pets Welcome

Living Spaces:
With two separate living spaces, there’s plenty of room for everyone to find their groove. The spacious living room features vaulted ceilings with beautiful beadboard detail. Between the upper dormer windows and the lower windows and door, the home is flooded with sunshine. They also create the perfect vantage point from which to enjoy the lakefront view as you relax comfortably on the sofa or leather recliners. When the evening rolls around, take advantage of the lightning fast (500+Mbps) WiFi to stream your favorite show, movie, or sporting event on the 70” HDTV.

The game room brings the outdoors in with a full wall of screening. Here is the spot for a friendly competition on the English dartboard. Then it’s time to crack a beer from mini-fridge and tune in to your favorite streaming service on the flat-screen TV.
Or maybe play a board game from the extensive collection.

Cooking & Dining:
The fully-equipped kitchen has an open-concept style, perfect for keeping up with the conversation! You’ll find all you need to create anything from a simple snack to a gourmet meal. Maybe you’ll get lucky with some fresh fish for dinner! The large peninsula bar comfortably seats three.

With the stunning views and comfortable weather, you may want to enjoy your meals alfresco. We make it easy with both a picnic table, charcoal grill, and fire pit that doubles as a grill with Adirondack chairs all around.

Sleeping Accommodations and Bathrooms:
The Heart of Huxley Bay sleeps up to 10. The first level features two queen bedroom suites and the loft has two full beds and a queen pull-out couch.

We also provide a Pack ‘n’ Play for your little ones.
Each of the two ensuite baths offers a tub/shower.
For our remote worker guests, the loft boasts a complete workstation, including mounted monitors, docking station, and printer!

Outdoor Amenities:
Where do I start?! The star of the show here is Mother Nature herself - just check out that amazing lakefront view, as soon as you set foot out the front door.
The private pier allows you to swim, fish, or boat (or any combination thereof!) right outside the front door.

Gather around the firepit in the evenings to grill the catch of the day, roast marshmallows, or maybe just tell some ghost stories. Firewood is included.

Try your luck at the included yard games like ladder golf, kan-jam, and bottle bash.
Bring all your toys! We’ve got a large boat/RV carport with power hookups.

We love dogs and think no vacation is complete without our furry family members. They even get their own bed and fenced run here.

Catch an afternoon siesta in the braided rope hammock.

Extras:
It’s our goal to create a 5-star experience for all our guests. One of the ways we do that is by providing all the extras we would want on lake vacation. Some of these extras include kayaks, basic fishing poles and tackle, lake floats, coolers, and folding camp chairs.

Relaxing Holiday getaway
We very much enjoyed our stay. The property was very clean, cozy, and included many amenities. My kids were pleased with the basket of treats on arrival. We had fun fishing, kayaking, board games, darts, sitting by the fire etc. We loved being able to have our fur baby with us. We would love to return during the summer!

Very nice place!
We really enjoyed our stay this week. The house was very clean, well appointed for decorations and they had the kayaks, life jackets, fishing poles, everything you needed. Just bring the bait! Bring paper plates if you don’t want to wash dishes. There were many pots and pans, which was great. Plenty of spices, etc for cooking. We definitely will come back if we have the time. Owner of the house was very helpful and responded quickly to text. Thank you again Josh!!

Fantastic stay
The cabin is roomy, clean, and cozy. Everything was as expected and we had a wonderful time! You definitely feel as if you’re spending your time at a private cabin on the lake in the forest. We plan to return soon

About the host

Hosted by Josh Corey

Host profile image
Hello! We are Josh and Laurie and we’re thrilled that you’ve chosen the Heart of Huxley Bay as your vacation destination. We purchased this property in the fall of 2020 as a pandemic escape. After having spent weeks at a time here, enjoying the solitude, the beautiful scenery, the wildlife, and all the wonder of the natural world on an “up close and personal” basis, we decided that we’d like to share this experience with others.
A couple of our great loves are (not surprisingly) travel, and the outdoors. We also enjoy hunting, fishing, and skiing on both the water and the land!
Welcome to Heart of Huxley Bay. We’re glad you’re here.

Why they chose this property

We were looking for an escape from the pandemic shutdown and found this amazing property.

What makes this property unique

When you need a break from the city or your hectic schedule, the Heart of Huxley Bay is the place to go. All the bases are covered here. Take a swim, cast a line, or jump in your boat, or one of two brand-new kayaks from the private pier. Bring your toys! We have a large boat/RV carport with power hookups to keep them protected. Relax around the firepit - firewood included! If you must, work at the dedicated workstation. And then shoot some darts in the screened living room. The pups are welcome and even have a fenced run.
