Map & Owner's Profile
Aunt Kay's Cabin - Private 6 Acre Peninsula on Horseshoe Chain
Year Purchased: 1995
Why the Owner Chose Richmond
We built two homes on this peninsula in the mid-1990s. My husband and I live in one of the homes. Friends and family stay in the cabin when they visit (it's actually a year-round home - we just call it 'the cabin'). We haven't made use of the cabin in the summer months as much as we once did, so in 2007 we decided to open up our cabin as a vacation home rental.
The Unique Benefits at this House
We live about 100 yards from the cabin, so we are usually nearby if any questions come up but we definitely respect our guests' privacy. Aside from us, the nearest neighbors are across the bay. The fishing is great right off our dock, and our bay is perfect for water sports.
Owner's Map of Richmond
We really enjoy hosting our guests' lake vacations. It's been fun to see our property through new eyes. They remind us why we moved here in the first place.

Annual Post-Holiday Weekend

Another fabulous girls' weekend at Aunt Kay's Cabin. The owners are so friendly, and don't mind answering any question that pops into our heads (thanks for the tip about Grand Depot!). The cabin was spotlessly clean, as always, and had everything we needed down to soap for the dishwasher and every size cookie sheet we could imagine. The huge kitchen works great for all of our gourmet chefs and bartenders, and there is plenty of room for party games or to spread out when we need a little peace and quiet. We didn't get to the health nut portion of our weekend this year when we go for the big walk around the lakes, which is a beautiful trek, but the views of the lakes and sunsets from the cabin are gorgeous as always. We'll be back next year!

My family and I recently enjoyed a lovely trip to Aunt Kay's cabin!! What a splendid time we had. The view is breathless and it is in a really convenient location to most stores and all. Very spacious home, with lots to do incase of bad weather (in our case that happened). Would highly recommend to anyone looking for that nice beautiful place!!! The owners were super helpful, polite, and not to mention they had a really nice dog :) Thanks for a great stay!!

We enjoyed our long weekend at 'Aunt Kay's Cabin'. The cabin was as described in the posting and easy to find. It was very clean, comfortable and homey. Our family of 10 'girls' had a great time boating, swimming, playing games and just plain relaxing on the patio overlooking the lake and beautifully kept grounds. In fact, it was so relaxing that we didn't go anywhere else!

Six of us women, who are in a book club, came here for a getaway. We had a great time playing games, grilling & having a bonfire – and all without the help of a man! We had fun visiting the town of Cold Spring. We stopped at the fabulous bakery, the unique boutique and the meat raffle at Grumpy’s. It’s a great little town and we look forward to coming back.

Linda and Bill, Thanks for the rental of Aunt Kay's Cabin this past weekend. We had fun and I think the kids especially liked the boat, the swimming and the crazy thunderstorms!
