Uncle Johnnie's cabin came about when I suggested to my wife that we needed a lake vacation, complete with our two pups and a lakefront property. I wanted fishing, a boat, a deck and a view. This property offered all that and more; it was just what we needed.

Her parents came for two nights, so they could have the extra bedroom closer to the lake. We enjoyed getting out and about and riding around on the pontoon rented from Knotty Pine (reserve it early!!!) So, the dock was super convenient. We had our privacy as neighboring houses were empty, or they kept well enough to themselves. For the first 3 nights we did a lot of cooking, and the cabin is well equipped, and the grill is great - along with outdoor eating on the deck. Markets aren't too far away, and we raided costco on the way to have 1-2 nights of dinners ready.

It was a pleasure to be away from any busier parts of the lake - and we never felt we were "too" far away. I enjoyed spin and fly fishing from the dock for smallmouth. Shore fishing half a mile towards the dam offered more significant action for late Summer.

The owners were responsive, helpful, and certainly know how to host via HomeAway. We're really thankful and, if we need another lake trip, this will be our first choice.

If it's helpful, we enjoyed most going to Red Onion Grill, Buffalo Chip's Pizza (Cabin Fever was out of this world), Cravings for breakfast, the hot dog stand in Canyon Dam. Aside from those foodie adventures... we really enjoyed a day at Lassen.

Thanks for offering the vacation cabin we needed!!!
