We had a lovely weekend, we were able to rent a pontoon boat on the lake for a day and have very relaxing campfires in the evening. We wanted for nothing.

Cozy cabin. Nice beds and bedding. Decor was cute. Liked the magazines and that you could borrow movies from the host. Definitely need to bring your own good and drinks. Nearest store is 20 to 30 minutes away. Out in nature. Lovely during fall with leaves changing.
