My wife and I had a wonderful time at the cabin—it’s a beautiful house, incredibly clean and comfortable, and had everything we could possibly need to enjoy our stay. We won’t look anywhere else the next time we want a quiet weekend of rest and relaxation!

This was our 3rd stay here. We come for the quiet surroundings and fishing. Nature was everywhere. We saw an Eagle, Blue Heron and Deer walking right outside the cabin. You can hear turkey gobbling and owls hooting. This is the perfect getaway.

We had the most relaxing and accomodating stay! Our family of six arrived to a warm cozy cabin and by the end of the trip enjoyed fishing and kayaking from the dock. The view, wildlife, ammenities, decor and secluded location were more than we had expected!

The owners are readily available if needed. If you like to fish, this is the place for you. We also saw 4 deer walking in the lake.

Home away from Home business Trip

An amazing home filled with beautiful accent lighting comfy home feeling amenities and a great wooded view. I had the pleasure of staying here for work and each time I came back to the house I was happy to be back and filled with a feeling of being home. The hosts were super helpful and reassuring that if I needed anything just reach out and they would be sure to help out.

Cozy and Peaceful retreat

This property is on a quiet road. There are neighbors nearby, but you would never know it. We didn't even hear a dog bark. The owners were easy to contact. The breakfast items, cookies and bottle of wine was appreciated. We are senoirs and the owner warned us of the steep grade to the lake. Walking sticks were provided and we didn't have a problem. We caught catfish, crappie and bluegill. Definitely will return.

Couldn't Have Asked For Better

Hosts are very responsive and gracious. Property is convenient to shopping and restaurants. While you can see another home across the lake from the dock, it is removed enough that we still felt secluded. It is truly a beautiful piece of property while the home itself is delightful with ample outdoor space for visiting and dining. From the multi-level deck and soothing water feature to the multiple comfort-features inside the home -- the owners have set up a very nicely appointed, updated and thoughtful space. This property is definitely on the list for a return visit. Zero reservations in recommending this property 100% if what you're after is natural beauty and tranquility in a one-of-a-kind cabin. Again, just delightful.

A Bit of Heaven

This very private cabin on Sugar Creek Lake was a complete surprise as soon as we entered the glass-front door. There are windows all around the entire back of the house allowing a lake view at all times. The fascinating outdoorsy decor mixed with modern architecture is very inviting. There were no keys to keep track of, as the door used an electronic locking system. The bedroom has a very comfortable large bed. The house has beautiful lighting in every room, with motion lights in the kitchen & pantry. The amenities were beyond belief, removing all anxieties of having to run out to a store for items you might have forgotten, leaving you time to relax and enjoy why you are there in the first place. A coffee nook with cream, mini snacks to enjoy, board games, as well as a bottle of wine. The bathroom was very pleasant, with a nice big shower. It also had an up-to-date washer & dryer (as well as detergent!).You could either go down to your own private little dock which has seating and pole holders (the crappie were nice sized!), or you could sit on the amazing deck at the cabin and watch the boats go by. Our trip was mainly meant for Thomas Hill Reservoir which is 20 minutes away, but we found that catch & release fishing from the cabin's dock was much more enjoyable (no fish cleaning at the cabin which was understandable). More importantly, the Hosts of the cabin were always available if we had questions. Once home, I found myself thinking of the good memories at this cabin.
