Clean, comfortable and just as described, this was the perfect base for a week of motorcycling. Mark and Jackie were standout hosts, especially with their prompt messaging and easy check-in/check-out steps. I definitely recommend them and the property!

They really thought about YOUR experience here! From pre-stacking the fire pit, to dog treats, to filtered water, to MANY beach and bath towels, to the ingredients for a few s'mores, to basic condiments, lots of cooking supplies/utensils, upscale appliances, there is enough here to give you a leisurely stay, and then some. The fans have remotes, the lighting is perfect, TWO hammocks, comfortable beds, comfortable couch. Fishing rods, metal firepit skewers, wine glasses, and CHILLED glass mugs in the freezer! Very spacious and well-stocked place that begs you to come back.

This cabin is straight from the heavens!The seating indoor and outdoor creates such a welcoming environment. The view of the lake in June from the top balcony is good for me! I can see the whitecaps as a storm rolls thru. I’m on a hammock on the top deck and could stay here for hours. The lot and fire pit are well maintained. Plenty of wood. The best part? The hosts have created an atmosphere of whimsy, relaxation, cheer, coziness, and thoughtful, even luxury amenities (such as the chilled carafe of water in my room when I arrived.) I love it here!

Pictures don’t do the cabin justice. We’ve stayed at other properties on VRBO and have been slightly let down. This was beyond our expectations. Decorations are as thoughtful as the owners reaching out to see if they had any age appropriate toys for our little ones. My little daughter was sad to leave and asked if we could return soon, to which we replied, “Absolutely!”
