This was a nice cabin with beautiful view. We enjoyed staying as we had a class reunion locally and got to enjoy time together in this perfect location and space.

From the owner: "Thank you so much for choosing us and for the kind words in the review. We are glad you all enjoyed your stay during the class reunion."
We stayed here with some family members as we were in the area for a wedding. The cabin was great, had many amenities. The lake was perfect-calm, clean, and the boys had fun fishing. Would definitely book again if we decide to stay on that area again!

Great place!
What a great place! We had a birthday weekend with our adult children fishing for my husbands birthday. Perfect size house, a lot of kitchen supplies, and the perfect spot on the lake for fishing! We will definitely rent again!
We had such a great time. This was my 1st time renting a vacation home, i brought so much extra stuff, and the house was stocked with everything you would need!
We made great memories here! And will definitely look into renting it again next year!
I came here with my three children (5, 3 and an infant) and we loved every minute of our stay. The day before we came a friend had told me that this part of the lake has experienced flooding over the last several years, so I was nervous what we would be walking into. I was pleasantly surprised! You can really tell the owners have put effort into making this a beautiful and welcoming lake home. The views of the fall trees across the lake were spectacular. Highly recommend and I would definitely come back.
