A lovely cozy cabin! Host was very responsive to our questions on operating gas fireplaces. Clean and comfortable! Enjoyed the woods/lake setting and quiet atmosphere. A bit chilly to hang out on the deck, but a great set-up for warmer days. Would definitely stay again!

This was a very comfortable and quiet cabin close to WEC. We enjoyed the view as well…the deck would have been a very nice place to relax if the weather is slightly warmer and dry. We appreciate having a quiet, dog friendly place to stay during ur horse show.

Cosy stay in the woods

We couldnt have picked a better time. Secadas everywhere made you really feel you were having a nature escape. With the lake close by and lots to do you will never want to leave. Dont be afraid of nature. Remember its there home and you are the visitor.
