Everything was so comfortable and there was so much room. It was large enough for our rather large family of 7 children, plus 2 partners and our 6 grandchildren. Whether we were gathered in the kitchen cooking or piled together watching the game, there was plenty of room for us to relax and enjoy our time together.
We enjoyed the stay location and size of the cabin it was accommodating for our party of 16. Easy check in process with a manual for rules and suggest places to eat. A quick walk to the lake the property does share a road with two adjoining properties. We look forward to visiting again!
We had a fun stay!!! The house was great. We actually had both houses on the property with other family members. It was a very nice stay. The walk to the water was perfect!
We had a good time. Spent most of our playtime at the lake fishing or swimming. Water was pretty high so we disnt have access in all the spots we hoped to check out. And google maps will lead you astray and up a neighbor's driveway if you arent paying attention.
Other than pulling Sasquatch out of the front shower drain, to keep the water from backing up in the tub, we enjoyed our stay. The house is very accommodating for our large family. Beds and furniture are very comfortable.

Family lake vacation
Great location with access to water’s edge for wading, comfortable beds, adequately stocked kitchen for minimal cooking of prepared foods, plenty of space for six adults/three kids. Quick drive to Shiloh Marina and Tannenbaum Golf Course. Something to note is that there is no dishwasher, but scrubber and dish soap is provided. Would stay here again with this group.
I don’t often leave reviews, but this place was fabulous! The owner was amazing and easy to communicate needs to! (Even left a little gift/small decorations for my husband since it was a surprise birthday getaway) The main room/kitchen area made for the most perfect hang out spot. Our kids loved exploring the outdoors and the adults had a wonderful time unplugging from the hustle and bustle for a simple, but perfect weekend.
We loved our time! Many thanks!

Good Cabin and location but needs attention to details.
We recently stayed at this cabin for a family getaway, and overall, it was a pleasant experience. The location was good—just a short walk to the lake. The price was economical, making it a good value for a family trip.Prior to our stay, communication with the property was smooth and timely, which we appreciated. However, after we checked in, we encountered a couple of issues. There were no replacement trash bags provided, which was inconvenient for a longer stay. More importantly, we discovered that the master bathroom didn’t have hot water in the shower or bathtub. I notified the property manager about this, but unfortunately, we didn’t receive a response.If these maintenance and communication issues are addressed, this cabin would be an excellent choice for future stays.Despite these minor inconveniences, the cabin had a cozy charm and we still enjoyed our time.
It’s was great but there just a few minor inconveniences. Some lamps didn’t have lightbulbs. Some ceiling fan remotes didn’t have batteries. The light over the cars table didn’t work. The internet was extremely slow and we only had 4 roll of toilet paper and a couple of small trash bags for 15 people staying 5 days.
All VERY minor but would have definitely made this a 5 star stay.
We were not able to enjoy our stay at the property because one of the bedrooms had bed bugs!! Even the walls and light fixtures we were 3 families with kids and we were really dissatisfied and disappointed that this beautiful home had bugs everywhere in the bedrooms, also one the bathrooms toilet doesn’t flush so it was really inconvenient for us to fill up a bucket every time you had to use the bathroom, the location is perfect for staying specifically if you have kids that likes to explore the woods lol but sadly we were unable to enjoy anything!! Hopefully the property manager can fix this but definitely we won’t be able to come back or recommend this property.
Worst experience ever dealing with vacation rental
We didn’t get to stay in the rental we booked. The host did not check the propane tank and it was EMPTY! We were only offered to stay in a condo that only part of our group could stay and to PAY ANOTHER RENTAL MORE MONEY. The condo, was nothing I would have reserved to say the least. We were given half of our money back for the original rental. Since, asking for a full refund since we had to pay for another rental, they have now ghosted me. Absolutely ridiculous service. I would never consider renting from this host again. We are very disappointed.

Kristen, I am really disappointed in your review. Seeing as how we had an unfortunate gas leak, causing the house to be out of gas at the time of your arrival, the guest that checked out before you that morning had no issues so we were unaware. I wish you would have stated in your review that i personally searched and found the only available rental in the area that would fit most of your group, we offered our small condo for no charge to accommodate the other guests. It was the only option we had on New Years Eve weekend at the last minute, I'm sorry again that it wasn't something you would have personally booked. I refunded you the full amount we received from your booking, The amount that wasn't refunded was vrbo fees and that is out of my control. We did everything in our power to save your trip and not have to leave you without a place to stay. No one ghosted you as I communicated to you several times that the money that had not been returned would have to be disputed through vrbo as it was out of my control. Not to mention that your group left the other rental that we found for you in an awful mess with broken items and soiled linens. Again I apologize for the gas leak causing so many issues but in my opinion we did everything in our power to resolve the issue. Thank you for your feedback, I hope I cleared up anything that may have been miscommunicated.
