Host was great! Lake view very nice. Needs some extra cleaning and some TLC. But otherwise a good stay.

We’re glad you enjoyed the lake view and your overall stay. We did not receive any reports of cleaning or pest concerns during your stay, so we unfortunately did not have an opportunity to address those concerns while you were here. That said, we’ve gone ahead and addressed these concerns to help ensure the property is well maintained for future guests. Thank you!

Beautiful cabin and location. Fully stocked kitchen if needed. I brought everything I could think of with me and could have saved some cargo space!! There is a basement in case of inclement weather. The owner checked in and was extremely friendly. We hope to visit again!
