We had a great stay at Cabin Z. It was just a short drive to my parents and the cabin had everything we needed. The decor was warm and we enjoyed our stay.

Weekend getaway

My family was able to spend the weekend at this site. The weather was perfect. We enjoyed fishing, cooking and eating together - played games and able to get away from the hustle of life. The serene atmosphere is just what we needed. Great WiFi was a plus though we spend most of our time outdoors -

Enjoyable Get Away

My Husband and I had a great time at this cabin on the lake. He spent the time fishing and I sat on the porch swing and enjoyed the view of the lake and the surrounding hills. The cabin was comfy and gave us a nice home away from home. We definitely would like to come back for another visit!

Cozy, Family friendly, Great Lake location

We had the best weekend getaway. The cabin was clean and cozy, with a great porch facing the lake. Very nice spot on the lake where we caught really nice fish, and swim with our 6 year old twins right off of the dock. Our host and her granddaughter helped make our daughter’s weekend wonderful! Definitely a lake rental worth booking.
