About this property

Big Lake Cabin with Hot Tub/ Kayaks/ Ping Pong/ HBO

The "Sunshine Cabin" enjoys ample natural sun year around from its lofty position up in the trees. The large picture window overlooking Big Lake provides a birds eye view of both the canopy and lake.
This 81’ deep lake has an island and home to many types of fish that's why we brought fishing/recreational kayaks for our guests. The boat launch access is just 1.6 miles from the sunshine cabin. The cabin is secluded on 1.45 acres of trees.
This listing is all about the experience.

Enjoyed the place. Unfortunately the hot tub broke after one use. The host replied quickly, a repair was attempted the next day. I understand things happen, and I appreciate the host’s response. Would recommend this place or host.

Thank you so much for your review. I’m really glad you enjoyed the place and the other amenities. The hot tub has now been fully repaired and is working again. Sometimes equipment can act up unexpectedly, and it’s not something we can control, but we always handle it right away. We truly appreciate your understanding, and we’d love to host you again in the future.
