Quiet & Cozy

This place is adorable and just what we were looking for! Very quiet and peaceful with great views. The kids spent the majority of the weekend fishing off the dock and had some good luck. The place was very clean and the kitchen was stocked with just about any dish or utensil you need. We really enjoyed our weekend getaway here. Would love to stay again!

Great location, beautiful views over the frozen lake. We enjoyed our stay here. We would definitely love to come back for a summer experience.We stayed for three weeks and did miss a few things that would have made our stay even better. We love to homecook and we did miss a cooker hood and opening the window during an arctic blast wasn't the best option, also the pans weren't the greatest. Because we stayed for three weeks we needed to wash our clothes, because the cabin doesn't come with a washer and dryer we went to the laundromat. We couldn't find a drying rack for our clothes in the cabin, that would have been helpful. And just a heads up for the tall and big guys, the shower is very small, water was nice and warm but it was too small for my husband.

The property was just as advertised. Probably the best stock kitchen I’ve ever found in our travels. That is super important to us as we have a lot of food, allergies and dietary restrictions, so we cook all of our meals from scratch.Laura was responsive, and went out of her way to make sure that the sheets and towels were not heavily scented, as we have allergies and sensitivities to those types of products.We would highly recommend the property.The sunset over the lake was all inspiring.

Cute cabin

It was a nice cabin to stay for my wedding weekend. The only thing is that it needs to be added to the listing, is that there is only room to park two cars. Otherwise, it was a great place to stay and a very nice cabin!

It's a lovely cabin, with a wonderful view. We had everything we needed. Time went by way to fast. We stayed 11 days and would have stayed longer if we could. We liked to watch all the birds, squirrels and chipmunks. It's beautiful there in Fall, with all the colors.

Great stay

My friends and I loved the lake vibes, the views are beautiful and the stars at night from the deck can’t be beat. The home is quaint and perfectly met our needs. We got to see fireworks one night and that was fantastic!! The neighbors are pretty close though and during our stay they mowed their lawn 3 separate times in 2days and they were quite nosey, I caught one of them watching us through binoculars.

Thank you so much for allowing us to stay at your beautiful lake cabin. The fishing off the dock was absolutely fantastic—we caught countless sunfish along with several impressive bass, catfish, and perch. The cabin itself was charming and thoughtfully stocked with everything we needed (and more).The only minor issue we encountered was the shower, which was a bit too small to use comfortably—though we made it work by using the handheld sprayer. That said, it didn’t take away from our overall experience, and we’re still giving it a full 5 stars.Thanks again for a wonderful stay!

Lovely place

Very nice property--well-equipped kitchen, comfy beds, and a nice lake view. Easy check in process. Agree with others that the shower is very small. We were able to paddleboard on the lake and it was fun to go around the island. Unfortunately, it was that time of year when the water can get murky, so it wasn't swimmable for our stay--but nice nonetheless. Lots of birds and ducks to check out. Overall, a lovely place.

Clean & Quiet

If you're looking to get away from it all, this is the place! Clean and recently updated cozy lake house. Access via a well maintained dirt road, sunset views over the lake from the deck are incredible. Super quiet neighborhood. We stayed here for a family reunion in nearby Rockford, plenty of room for our family of 5. The kids loved jumping off the dock and swimming in the lake. Host was responsive and kind. And good WiFi if you need to sneak in an email or two...

What a great getaway!

We had an amazing time at the cabin! Check-in was a breeze and communication with Laura was excellent. Once there, we were greeted with a cabin exactly as you see in the photos. Everything was clean and the place had just about every kitchen tool or appliance you might want. The beds were comfortable and the sheets were amazingly soft (which is kind of a thing with me). I would say this was more like a hotel than other places we've stayed because she provides shampoo/conditioner/body wash, which isn't the norm. I wasn't paying attention to the listing and assumed there would be laundry, but there's not so you just need to make a note of that. We appreciated all of the details and had a great time at the cabin!
