We had another wonderful stay at the Heart of Huxley Bay! We first saw out this particular cabin because it allowed pets and looked very clean. Though we didn’t bring our dog at this time, our children requested that we go back to this very location this year. Josh is always very helpful and welcoming. And, the cabin is always in tiptop shape with wonderful amenities included. We look forward to another stay here in the future.

Wonderful Weekend Getaway

We had a wonderful weekend in this beautiful cabin. The beds were comfortable. The firewood supply is a very nice touch. We really enjoyed the fire pit. Everything we needed was in the cabin. Plenty of entertainment provided for all ages (kayaks, fishing tackle, TV’s in every room, games). I definitely recommend this cabin for a getaway.

Even the rain couldn’t put a damper on a good time. The house is in a great location with a perfect view. We really enjoyed the pier and doing a little fishing. Very relaxing, very serene. The owner was very respondent to questions, nice and polite. Very accommodating. Make sure you take advantage of the provided kayaks and fishing equipment if you don’t have your own! Thanks for a fun stay!

Hi, we’re Josh and Laurie—thanks for considering Heart of Huxley Bay!

We fell in love with this area for its calm waters, quiet forests, and the simple joy of lake life. After spending time here ourselves, we designed this cabin to be comfortable, practical, and easy to enjoy—whether you’re here to fish, relax, work remotely, or just unplug.

We love sharing places that allow guests to slow down, spend time outdoors, and make meaningful memories. We hope Heart of Huxley Bay becomes one of those places for you.

Make yourself at home—we’re glad you’re here!
