Wonderful Getaway

This is our 2nd year and Odie’s Place and once again it was a wonderful experience. Such a peaceful, relaxing cabin and space. The owners have thought of everything you could ever need from the kitchen to the bedrooms and bathrooms to the children’s area and beach/lake options. The beach area is a great spot to read a book or enjoy the water or just take a nap in the hammock. The deck and patio are an added bonus and a great place to enjoy a quiet morning read or evening cocktail. Communication with the owners is also easy and clear and it it obvious they care a great deal that everyone has an amazing experience during their stay. We have been renting cabins for over 20 years and can’t recommend Odie’s Place highly enough. Can’t wait to come back next summer!

About the host

Why they chose this property

We are 3rd generation owners of Odie's Place. Odie was my grandmother and in honor of her we share this very special place with you. As a family we spent precious summer days swimming, skiing and fishing endlessly. We worked at the local grocery store as teenagers to ensure our keep. We shared so much laughter, joy and peace filled weeks together. The memories continue to be made and we hope you will be a part of them by making your own while here. Odie's is a very special place! Odie would insist you sleep in, eat and/or drink every hour and return often. Please honor her request.
