Jeff and Karen were fantastic hosts (they were very helpful when we had a small medical emergency.) The cabin is wonderful to stay in, and very comfortable. It is well equipped. Everything we needed was there, and then some. The lake view was beautiful, and we were able to catch not only a lot of fish, but a lot of species. Cannot say enough good things about the hosts or this cabin. Thank you for all that you did Jeff and Karen. We had a great summer getaway!

Cabin had everything we could need. Also very clean. The owners were easy to work with. Will definitely have to stay again. Good variety of restaurants with-in 10 miles from cabin. Close to everything, yet felt like we were in the middle of the forest. The kayaks and pontoon rental made our stay exceptional.

Cozy stay

Our family of 5 enjoyed our stay very much. The cozy, 2 bedroom cabin was perfect. The owners thought of everything one might need for a comfortable stay. They were also very easy to communicate with. They went above and beyond. The view was beautiful, and the lake was easily accessible. The fishing was also great. We look forward to spending time here again.

Was great!! And will come back!

The cabin was just as pictured, much better than the description! Very clean, had everything you need plus more, such as beach towels, bug spray and sunscreen! And even snacks for our kids! We came with our 5yr old and 6.5yr old. Along with our dog. Everyone loved it! The living area and kitchen was roomy for being a small cabin. Which was nice as we had a rainy day. There was a cute fire pit with chairs and a picnic table. Oh and our fav thing was black out curtains in the bedrooms!! We rent lots of VRBO and we love dark rooms so our kids don’t get up at the crack of dawn! We rented the pontoon and they were great at coming over and showing us details on it. Pontoon ran great and was clean. There is a bigger cabin next door they also rent that’s gorgeous that has a swing set and tiny playhouse cabin for kids. When we came they had gotten so much rain so it was hard to see the exact shoreline, which was nothing they could have done to make it better, so we just went off the end of the dock vs walking in. There was also kayaks and a canoe that was fun to use. We don’t have a negative thing to say about our stay! And we already can’t wait to come back!

Everything about this property was exceptional. The cabin was absolutely beautiful and cozy. The property was secluded and absolutely lovely. The use of the pontoon boat was a plus!! This was the best VRBO we've ever been to. The hosts were so friendly and communication with them was fantastic. I would recommend this to everyone. Absolutely fantastic all around!!!

Thank you for all your kind words!! We are so happy you both enjoyed your stay at the Sugar Shack! Our friends that stayed there gave the cabin that name and it’s stuck! Renting the pontoon is great because you can enjoy more of the lake! Take care, have a wonderful summer and hope to see you both again! Jeff and Karen
