Great stay and spacious cabin. Enough room for 10 people and the back deck/patio was a great feature. Some of the neighbors on a separate property seemed grumpy, but we just ignored them (only saw 2 times). Would certainly stay again in the future.

Beautiful place in the woods

Our family had a fantastic time here! The building is very spacious and comfortable. The huge deck has a great view of the wooded hill down to the lake with partial lake views. The kitchen is nice and has all of the amenities. Our host was very responsive and helpful. We had a great time and would definitely stay here again!

Great House

We stayed with friends and the house is great, had everything we needed for our quick stay. Great property, and the patio was huge. The only bummer would be not having direct lake access but everything else was awesome.

Ultimate group cabin vacation!

This property checks all the boxes: massive house, fantastic location, historic charm, tons to do, fully stocked, and best of all a great and responsive host. Our stay couldn’t have gone more smoothly, and our family had a fantastic time. Don’t bother looking elsewhere, this property has no equal within 100 miles!

From out of town

Rented lodge for 2 nights, for 8 adults to stay, came from out of town to attend a family event. Lodge is large, warm and inviting -very rustic. Beds were comfortable and there was plenty of room to spread out. Loved pool table, dart board, formal dining room, great room with big screen TV and back porch. Little difficult to find at first on winding back road and lake access was farther then we thought, but overall good experience.

Listing NOT fully correct

Inside the home was great- A/C worked very well on hot day. As other reviews note- this is NOT a private home- it’s two houses connected- the left side is what you are renting. Two bathrooms are very small. I would NOT recommend this for groups in the summer. The home is located in a very tight subdivision with houses on all sides. We had ten adults (note they require you to pay more per person after 10) outside at a bon fire both nights talking - no music. The police were called due to noise both nights- police found nothing wrong at the house both nights. The home does NOT have lake front access ( as noted in other reviews) there is a non maintained staircase that leads down to a non maintained dock with a DO NOT ENTER sign (there are signs all though out the house of rules also). Home was nice but unable to enjoy it with a group of adults.

Amazing Spot to Hang with Friends

This place is absolutely incredible for multiple guests to hang out and relax. A large floor plan, a huge deck, full kitchen, giant TV room and a pool table. We had such a fun time hanging out listening to music and playing games. You won't regret booking here.

Great place, great times!

There's so much to say! We loved the cabin itself. It's very charming and comfortable, perfect amenities, beautiful views, amazing deck and property overall. The owner was easy to work with and communication was great before and during our stay. The location is close to everything you need! The pool table and dart board were fun! We definitely recommend a sound machine for sleeping since the floors do creak, but that's to be expected in a log cabin. Overall a wonderful trip in a beautiful home, perfect for a large group.

Charming, rustic cabin

Really enjoyed our stay. Dan, the owner was VERY responsive to any inquiries. Beds were very comfortable. As this is a rustic cabin, important to know that the walls are thin and the floors very creaky - part of the charm but not for light sleepers. Lake view is lovely but not really for swimming or lake activities. Important to know that the house pictured is actually 2 properties, not all one. Pool table and great room were great for our family gathering. Deck was amazing as well. Wish we had been able to stay longer to enjoy the outdoor fire pit.

Beautiful cabin!

This cabin was extremely beautiful and we very much enjoyed our stay! Dan was excellent about getting back to me with answers to questions I had. One thing to note is that the neighbors don't seem to like that the property is rented out, as it seemed like there may have been noise complaints called in when we were just outside sitting by the fire and talking, not even with music playing. Just something to keep in mind if your group plans on staying up past 11pm! Other than that, it was a great stay.

Idyllic setting with tons of room and beautiful view

There were 15 of us staying at the lodge with plenty of sleeping accommodations. The beds were very comfortable, everything was neat and tidy and clean. It would be nice to have a third bedroom but we managed with two. All of the furnishings are top-notch except bedside lamps are needed in the bedrooms. We loved the billiards table and the huge dining room table. The kitchen was roomy for preparing meals and we did a lot of that. We brought cornhole boards and played games on the side yard, used the fire pit (You have to supply your own firewood which was fine.), And we mostly spent all of our time out on the expansive deck which overlooks the lake area. The only problem I had was in communication with the owner. It sometimes took one or two days to get answers back to questions I presented. Overall, it's an absolutely beautiful old Lodge, very comfortable and we had a grand time.

We stayed at the lodge over Gourth of July weekend and could not have been happier! The place is even prettier than the pictures. The beds were all extremely comfortable. Check in was a breeze and the owner was great communicating with us with every question asked. The view of the lake is beautiful and we will absolutely stay here the next time we are in town!

The house is clean, nice location , quiet neighborhood, however a lot of features was eliminated from the house such as reaching to the lake, kitchenware was not enough and poor communication with owner. He doesn’t respond to messages or calls unless you reach to him multiple times . He live next to this house and you feel you have watchdog
