  • My son (27) and I stayed over the Labor Day weekend. I was joined by my wife the last few days. Weather was perfect, fishing and golfing a-okay. As always, when you book a place you have never seen before, you are a bit nervous. Well, Ruth & Fred's cabin exceeded all my expectations. Neat, clean, private and in excellent working order. The cabin has great old log character along with new & modern conveniences. I have vacationed in this area for ~30 years and will return to this cabin. Very happy with my decision to stay here!

  • What a wonderful stay! I relished the quiet, being tucked away in the woods, and being so near the lake. It was a delight to go to bed at night and listen to the water on the rocks below and the loons calling in the distance. The cabin is well-kept and stocked with everything I could dream of needing. Ruth and Fred were most gracious in their help with renting. Thank you so much!
    
    Homeowner Response:
    Thank you Ruth. We could hardly tell anyone had stayed at the cabin and appreciate your care in it's use. Welcome back any time. Ruth & Fred

  • Stunningly Beautiful. Your search is over... We stayed at the cabin Memorial Weekend and found the place to be absolutely wonderful. This is a real log cabin nestled in the woods very near the water and totally secluded. The peace and quite along with the stunning sunsets makes this place our most favorite. The cabin has all the comforts of home including satelite TV. Although we spent most our time sitting outside listening to the birds and wildlife and just plain relaxing. There is no better place to spend time away from all the noise and busy life styles we face. Fred and Ruth are great hosts and always there should you need them. We want to sincerely thank you for sharing your slice of Heaven with us.

    We are fortunate to own this property and we enjoy sharing it with others who appreciate it's natural qualities. We look forward to your return. Ruth & Fred Strohmeier

  Jeff & Tami ,
  • WOW! AMAZING! If you are looking for a secluded real log cabin with the ammenities of home then this will be for you. The sounds of the Loons will put you to bed and the sunrise on the lake will greet you when you awake. If you choose to sleep in the sunroom, as my wife and I did, you will be rewarded with an outstanding view of the lake from bed. My daughter chose to sleep in the master bedroom as it is fit for a queen, or in this case a princess. My son slept in the bedroom in the main part of the cabin. These arrangments were nice as we could arise whenever, without disturbing each other. We had a fabulous time fishing, swimming, hiking and just relaxing. You can spend many hours watching the hummingbirds race to and fro in search of their next snack. Bring your binochulars to search the islands on the lake for Bald eagles or even better yet take your boat and explore them. There is an abundance of wildlife to be seen. You could bring a DVD to watch and listen to through the excellent sound system, but I doubt you will want to waste anytime watching TV as you will be soaking in the beauty of the cabin and its surroundings. I cannot explain in words how wonderful a vacation we had at the cabin. It was a fantastic experience for my teenage children as well as for my wife and I. I think my children were surprised to find that they were not bored, even without all of their electronic gizmos that everyone seems to "need" nowdays. If you do feel a need for a trip to town there are several within a short distance for all of your needs and the scenery along the way is great. The owners are super people and we are very thankful to them for allowing us to stay in such a wonderful place. Thank you, Thank you, Thank you! Everyone should experience this.

    Thank you Jeff and Tami. You were ideal guests for us and left the cabin impeccably clean as well as leaving us some fun and creative thank you notes. We look forward to your return. Ruth & Fred Strohmeier

  • I stayed in the Strohmeier's cabin last year and had one of the most relaxing vacations ever. The cabin is magnificient - it is so comfortable - all the amenities that I have at my home plus the beautiful lake. I loved the quiet. The birds only woke me up in the morning. The call of the loons is something that I could listen to all day while reading and sunning myself. I look forward to going back again and again.

  • It is a very nice cabin! The rooms are terrific and at night, it's an amazing sight you can't see in the city. There is a firepit so you can roast marshmellows! Fabulous home, Terrific!
    
    Homeowner Response:
    It is fun watching the kids running, swimming, swinging, fishing, laughing, investigating nature and just having fun without TV & Computers. It's amazing to see how imaginative kids and their parents can be and how satisfying it is spending time together.

    It's wonderful to be here, there are such little places like it. We thank you for the opportunity!!! I've never seen anything like Kego or the cabin on the shore. I hope to come again and spend some wonderful time. All the best,

    What a pleasure it is to reacquaint myself with Kego. The peacefullness of Kego always stays with me as I think about the weeks ahead. A weekend here renews the spirit and gives me a sense of what's important in life. A weekend at Kego provides a fresh perspective and a glimpse of a more peaceful reality. Thanks for everything.

    Great place, very relaxing. The quiet and peaceful calm on Saturday evening with the loons singing was just beautiful. Couldn't believe how close we got to the loons with the canoe. Thanx for asking us up.
