Perfect lake cabin getaway

Loved the cabin and the location was breathtaking. The owner provides paddle boards, kayak and all the essentials you need. 10/10 will definitely be booking again. It rained the whole stay and it was still the most peacful and relaxing place I have stayed at in a long time! Cant wait to try it again soon in some dry weather.

This was a great cabin, beautiful views and overall fun experience with the kids. The loft area is a little small for four of us so we ended up sleeping two in the loft and two on the main floor. Prepare yourselves for the mosquitoes! I wish we had more time to kayak, but we did have s'mores at the fire pit and cooked our own lobsters.

Perfect for a rustic, clean, quiet escape. Hear the birds and creatures as you drink your coffee with a perfect lakeside view.Drive down LONG bumpy driveway down to pond. Must walk 100' to get from car to house.There are: electric outlets that work, woodstove, fridge, microwave, sink, windows with screens, sofa, table and chairs, two lamps, firepit, pots and pans, dishpan, coffeemaker, outhouse. I did not test the oven. THERE IS NOT: water on site, heat (other than woodstove), AC, wifi.

Please note that the items mentioned in this review are in the cabin now but are not a guaranteed for future rentals. That is why my tag line is "this is one step up from camping." "Bring everything you need to camp outside minus the tent." That includes water and campfire wood. The listing states that there is no AC and no WiFi and possibly no cell service. I pride myself on having a 10/10 Review rating. Please let me know how I can be more clear with my listing. Thank you for staying at our little cabin. Sara
