I thoroughly enjoyed my stay here. The cabin was cozy and inviting. It was furnished with everything I needed. I loved sitting on the front porch and rocking while I read. All the animals were fun to watch and the dogs were so friendly. The lake is absolutely beautiful! I would highly recommend this lovely place.
The host were amazing. The cabin had everything we needed. The farm animals and fishing was the best part of our stay. We are making plans to return next Fall.
The cabin was Beautiful The host were excellent. The view was beautiful. They had awesome farm animals that were very friendly especially the dogs. Thank you!
Cozy secluded cabin was perfect for disengaging from the business of life and slowing down for a while. The wood stove was a treat after being outdoors on winter days. Hosts were responsive to messages and clearly attentive to details, i.e. they ensure there were enough washcloths for the duration of our stay! (This is surprisingly uncommon).
The drive to the property was a little scary in the sense that before getting to the cabin, the housing before driving in looked like a meth house area, it’s not the trailer it’s the condition of the trailer/ housing and surrounding area, it looked like a junk yard, before getting to the gated area. We almost left. It didn’t look safe driving in, but once we made it to the gated area and the cabin it was a little better.

Our neighbor has been through a tremendous loss the last couple of years. This young man lost his father to cancer, went through a divorce, lost his job and most recently lost his only home. He has been greatly depressed and we are trying to help and encourage him and the older man that is homeless and lives on his property. It does look bad but we look beyond that and look for ways to help those in need. We can all choose to see devastation and judge the conditions or we can see an opportunity to help someone who has a need for kindness.
We can't thank Joel and Kim enough for our wonderful stay! Our weekend was absolutely perfect. The cabin was so cute and cozy. The view of the lake was breath taking and we loved getting the canoe out and fishing. We got married on the dock and we couldn't have asked for better hosts. We will definitely be coming back for more weekend getaways!
This was an amazing getaway weekend and the place was exactly what we needed! Beautiful property was a dream and the dogs were the best company, they were the sweetest! Cannot wait to come back and enjoy more time here.
Mom and I had a fabulous time kayaking, fishing (catch and release), swimming, and petting the dogs and miniature horses. The homeowners are extremely kind people, the cabin is comfortable, and the property is stunning. Mom and I hope to return!
My husband and I stayed here for our honeymoon. We were beyond pleased with this location. The lake was beautiful and the cabin was cozy. Overall, this place made a perfect honeymoon destination!
