This cabin is so cute, clean and nicely decorated. I can’t wait to book it again this summer!

The lake views at this cabin are spectacular and the extra attention to detail in the cabin is so fun. Also the bed linens are luxurious. We plan to bring our whole Family back to enjoy this hidden gem.

Family fishing week

Had a great week of fishing. Place was great. Rented a boat nearby and plenty of room for a family of 5 adults and then some. Beautiful home. Had door lock issues but they were quickly resolved.

Comfort & the great outdoors

This cabin was everything we wanted! Comfortable, beautiful and perfectly tucked away in the great outdoors. The views of the lake were wonderful. I cannot wait to book again. This time with my kids so we can enjoy loads of outdoor time on the lake and by the firepit. A definite keeper on my VRBO list.

Saved us! Great times, great place.

We needed someplace to put everyone before the fun begins this week and Kristy saved us! The place was great for our group, space to get together and space to chill as we were all on different schedules. You can tell that she's put a lot of work into the property while keeping the authentic resort cabin vibe. We will be making plans to come back when the water is wet!

Lakehouse with watersports

Excellent location-Upper Gull Lake was ideal for watersports. We enjoyed a pontoon/ski/tube rental from Lake Fun Rentals that was only a 10 minute ride away. Loved seeing and hearing loons on the lake. Enjoyed the fire pit and kayaks. Newly renovated cabin with well-thought out details. A/c unit in kitchen was so new that it was not yet hooked up; this will be very helpful for future guests that have 89 degree highs like we did! We very much enjoyed our stay!

Perfect summer!

We had the most amazing stay here. The house is perfectly located on a beautiful lake that is great for fishing and tubing. It also connects to all the other lakes and has several dining options that you can get to by boat. The cabin was beautiful and fit our group of 8 well. I really appreciated the kayaks and life jackets that were included. The kitchen and bathroom was stocked with basics. The living room over looks the lake and you can open the windows and get a lot of that fresh air. Having the washer and dryer available was essential. Host was great at communicating with us if we had any questions. We rented our boat at Boats and Beyond Rentals and they were great. I would definitely come back to this house!

Incredible water views from the cabin as we sit right on the ridgeline close to the water.
