Fun Family Weekend

We used this cabin for a family weekend on the lake (a total of six adults). Beautiful property, with many places to hang out and gather. The owner was very helpful upon check-in and check-out. Caught a few sunfish from the dock and had several boat rides using the pontoon provided. Marina is about a seven-minute boat ride to the cabin on the island.

Truly delightful people. So generous and thoughtful - left the place immaculate and even washed all the towels. There aren’t enough stars for how high I’d rate them.

Amazing

We stay in VRBOs about 4-5 times a year. This host was by far the kindest and most considerate of all of them. She made us feel very welcome. The property is stunning. The area has restaurants, bars, breweries, family events.. anything you could ask for. Would highly recommend!

Amazing island home!

Gorgeously decorated and designed property on a secluded island. Awesome to have pontoon with the rental. Huge kitchen, living area, and several outdoor seating areas! Cannot reccomend this place enough!
