This place a was perfect for a winter wonderland get away. The snow looked so magical on the lake. The cabin also has a beautiful cozy interior. The hot tub kept temperature very well! The hosts were easy to reach and help with our needs.

Short Escape

This property was just what my wife and I needed for our anniversary. From the amazing all sports lake to the relaxing hot tub. We enjoyed making dinner on the grill and inside the kitchen. When temperatures hit over 90 degrees with 30-60 mph winds we hid inside the House with AC and watched our favorite tv shows. Great property and neighbors!!!!

Had higher hopes for our stay for the price.The goodEasy check in and check outFast internetWell stocked kitchen.Comfortable bedsWhat we were disappointed inOur children would have loved to use the hot tub, however there was green algae on the inside cover and insides of the hot tub.The outside of the property was unkempt. Grass was not mowed, and the grass along the edge of the deck and fire pit was long. Weeds in the front planting were overgrown made it look not warm and inviting.The tree in the back yard is over grown. Leaves and vines hanging down right where the seating would be which made us not eat outside. Also right where you grill there was low branches you had to dodge.The grill area was also messy. Last falls leaves, trash from another visitor, and lots of bugs.There were no screens on the sliding doors. Several times there was a nice breeze and it would have been nice to have the doors open. But with no screens bugs would have free reign to enter. The one sliding screen was broke beyond trying to make it work.There were pillows but many of them didnt have pillow cases on them. We thought that was odd and we were very thankful we brought our own.Needless to say we wont return to this property.
