Though neighboring cabins were close by we were alone for most of our stay. The cabin was set up nicely with a galley kitchen that was more than adequate for our needs. Our only criticizem would be that we found the mattresses firmer than we like. All in we had a great stay and enjoyed sunset from our kayaks out on the water.

A nice little cabin ! View of the Lake!!
Only set back was the hot water in the shower did not work!!
We enjoyed this cute, old-fashioned cabin. It was clean and as described, but the kitchen and bathroom were smaller than expected and it’s not lakefront. It’s older so we were prepared with an extension cord for easier charging of electronics. Nice and quiet area. Good communication with host.

Lovely location with beautiful sunset view, beds were comfortable, plenty of fans and there was a space heater for a cool morning. It was nice to have Netflix but there was only 2 users allowed. Might want to consider investing in a better Netflix subscription.
