This is a great property. It is advertised extremely accurately. If you are looking to see the Milky way this is your spot. If you want to escape from your phone, this is your spot. If you love nature, this is your spot. Keith and Laurie are awesome and we will be back.

Everything was very clean, we were properly instructed on how to use the water system. Great views of the lake, a nice dock to swim off of. My only suggestion would be for the owners to replace the grill provided with a more permanent solution. The grill was quite rusty and frankly unusable for cooking. Don’t let this dissuade you from renting however, the overall experience was very good.

Amazing stay

Stayed with my boyfriend for 5 nights and our stay was absolutely perfect! Everything about the property was gorgeous, the owners were great and prompt with replying. Close to town, which had a ton of stores to choose from. Will definitely be booking again next time we’re in the area!

Amazing view

My spouse and I enjoyed our weekend away together , amazing views, lots of wood to burn, getting to the water was a mission, updated outhouse would be a good investment in the future, but eveything was wonderful and the property owners were so sweet and kind

Great Remote Getaway

Came with a few friends and my dog. We had a great stay! It was exactly what we were looking for - something remote and rustic. Still had everything we needed - working wifi, an (outdoor) shower with warm water, a clean outhouse, a lovely dock on the water, plenty of firewood, and close enough to town. The views are amazing. Laurie and Kevin were super helpful and communicative.

Beautiful property but would not want to stay longer than 2 days.

The property is beautiful. The lake was not what I was expecting. The dock is not directly at the cabin like I originally thought. The outhouse was very basic. We only stayed for 2 days. Due to the outhouse, I would not want to stay any longer than that. The host was very nice and did let us go to one of her other properties so we could swim. The lake at the cabin was murky but the dog LOVE it :) Overall we had a great time and made the best out of the few days we were there.

Hi Anonymous in the description it told you that the lake was 150 ft below the cabin. With out the height you would not get the valley views that makes our place so Unix and beautiful. As for the outhouse I don’t know what to improve on as it’s used for one thing and one thing only. Maybe a heater for the winter.

Amazing view from the rock

As long as you don't mind an outhouse and some bugs then you will have a great time at the rock. You are secluded with an amazing view. Everything was clean. The waterfront is about a 5 min walk down a steep hill, but its very nice. I walked it a few times and also drove it a few times. It is steep! But my Rav4 with good tires had no problem climbing the hill. I would definitely go back.

The cabin was well-described as “rustic.” Outhouse rather than a toilet for example. Pretty dusty, but otherwise tidy. Beautiful view across the lake to the farmer’s fields. It is very isolated, which is nice, although the noise from the children’s camp across the lake is frequently audible because of their use of a PA. It is a long steep walk down to swimming, which one has to do either boldly using a 4-wheel drive or climbing strenuously. Once you’ve done that there is a set of stairs down to the dock. It was fine for us but wouldn’t be ideal for anyone with mobility issues.

All of what you said is in the description that some people read. As for the dust maybe we should place the bush to prevent dust. Lol

Beautiful place, shame about the detritus in the woods and issues with the manager

The property, the back roads to the property, the view, and the lake and space by the lake are all amazing! The cabin is really lovely, too - once I got used to the water running into a bucket and needing to be dumped, I could have lived there. The fire pits were fun and it was great to be able to take the canoe out. There are lots of unfinished projects, metal detritus, etc all over the property which are eyesores and a shame in the woods. Laurie was great and brought me a couple things that were missing from the kitchen. Kevin however greeted us at arrival with complaints about how annoying/stupid past guests had been and didn’t answer important messages I sent, making me feel like I should stop asking questions. For example, the big foam floating mat at the dock had ripped, had huge protruding nails and was blowing away. He never did anything about it so I finally moved it myself and let him know - never got a response and sprained my wrist trying to move and secure it.
