Very nice house and the people who owns it was very nice and Connie went beyond in being helpful when I asked her about what to do with the grandchildren around there. Always got back with me right away. Thank you for letting us stay in your beautiful home.
We had a great time and enjoyed our relaxing stay. The kitchen is well stocked and the bedrooms are very comfortable. I hope we can come back again in warm weather!
Overall, we had a good stay. There is very little closet space for guest. Cabin could be cleaner especially porches. Cobwebs all over the front entrance and the covered porch off the kitchen. Dog food on the floor in bathroom off of master BR. When we swept down cobwebs and the floor of covered porch we found several bones on the floor. We saw 2 cockroaches in the kitchen. We were able to kill one. Cabin needs to be exterminated for bugs. If there's 2 there's more that were not seen.

Thank you for taking the time to share your feedback about your stay. I’m glad to hear that you overall enjoyed your time at the cabin. We have had an unusual amount of spiderwebs on the porches this year. We can literally get rid of them one day and they all are back the next! You should have not had any dogfood on the floor -I will discuss these concerns with our cleaning team right away.Regarding the bug issue, we do have it treated quarterly. The cabin is located in the woods and even while we strive to not have them - there may be some (and hopefully dead ones) in the cabin. Your comfort and safety are very important to us.Thank you again for your feedback, and I hope we can provide a better experience for you and future guests.
Property was as described. The outdoor spaces were great for the crowd we had. We enjoyed the dock and porches during the day and the firepit at night.

The house was a very comfortable, large house for our group of 7. We had a great time at the fire pit and there was lots of space. Great fishing off the deck and very quiet. We would definitely go back!
Home was spotless. Location was very peaceful. The host (who was excellent) was in frequent communication (we had no problems) with suggestions etc. would definitely stay again. Also WiFi was excellent
Great stay. Read all the details in the listing, they are accurate. The path to the water and back is paved but is steep, my parents had a hard time coming back up.
Well stocked kitchen, games; small living and kitchen areas but large porch for family meals if you have more than two or four folks. Very steep path to dock but cement made it very doable for all that are decently mobile. Great communication with responsive hostess.
The house had everything we needed for our stay. Did a lot of floating and relaxing on the water. Water temperature was niceand warm at 82 degrees. Plenty of floats for the family to use. Plenty of space in houses don back porch for people to relax

What makes this property unique
This charming cabin has all wood floors, walls and ceilings on the main level. Find yourself on the covered porch, dock or in the hammock in the back yard, relaxing and letting time slow down. Or grab the kayak and find adventures on the lake! Great place to reconnect with loved ones and enjoy all the benefits of being on the lake.
