The property was very clean and the beds were exceptionally comfortable! Very dog friendly. We had a great time fishing even though we didn't catch anything. It was great to be able to use the fishing rods. It was a bit tricky getting down to the dock, but that is just me. Kids enjoyed it as well. It was close to town where you could go out to eat and get supplies at the grocery store. We really appreciated having fresh eggs provided by our host.Thank you!!

Cozy cabin right on the lake! You can’t get any closer to the water than this. Hoping to stay here again when the weather is warmer so we can go swimming. There is a fire pit right next to the lake, as well as a dock. This stay is perfect for anyone wanting to connect with the outdoors.
