Stayed here before and enjoyed it just as much. Great location within waking distance of free pickleball courts and Marina for pontoon rentals. Tucked into a quiet bay with lots of privacy. There were 11 of us with plenty of sleeping accommodations and three large gathering areas. Loved the log cabin style with all of the latest amenities. Will surely visit again.

We had an incredible stay!! Kathryn was very communicative, even before out stay. The kids had a blast playing with the paddle boat, building castles on the beach, and swimming in the water. The house was amazing, and had everything we needed. Thanks again, we'll be back!

Beautiful home! We loved the large yard and beach. The lake toys/equipment were great and received plenty of use. The location is excellent with privacy for your stay but also close to many attractions.

Beautiful Cabin

We had an incredible stay and thought the cabin was absolutely amazing. It is extremely clean and has a ton of character. The backyard is huge, and it is located in a perfectly quiet part of the lake. Overall, I can't recommend staying here enough, and we hope to be back next year.

Relaxing Vacation

The log home is definitely nicer than the pictures. We enjoyed boating, tubing, swimming, fishing and relaxing during our week stay. The amenities were great. Many family members enjoyed the paddle board and the kayak. Our accommodations comfortably fit all fourteen family members. Every evening had a cool lake breeze, and more windows with screens facing the lake would have even made our stay much better.

Florida / Minnesota Family Reunion

The property was better than we expected. It was clean, updated, yet rustic. The view of the lake was pristine. Although the water and air were cold for July it did not stop us from having a fabulous northern experience in this beautiful home.

We had a lovely family reunion! The large home was perfect for our occasion. The kitchen was well-stocked and had plenty of counter space and even a Butler's pantry! Each of the three levels had areas for conversations and/or games. The bunkhouse also held lawn chairs and lawn games. Communications with the owner were easy and gracious. All in all, we couldn't have asked for anything better!
