We truly enjoyed our stay! We loved the seclusion, and the drive to the cabin was lovely! The cabin was clean and comfortable. The only drawback was that the walk down to the lake was difficult for anyone with balance or mobility issues. The lake was pristine and beautiful!

It was just what I was looking for. The cabin was spacious - we had 7 people and 2 dogs - and didn’t feel crowded. It was quiet and felt like you were in the middle of no where but only 15 minutes to shopping, restaurants, and more. The kitchen was well stocked with pots & pans, dishes, glassware, etc. They also provided a lot of the essentials like hand soap, paper towels, dish soap, etc. It was so nice to also have access to kayaks and a paddle boat!! We really enjoyed our stay!

Beautiful Lake, Nice Cabin

This is a nice rustic cabin on a beautiful lake. We used the kayaks and enjoyed paddling about the lake. Biking in the area is wonderful and we did that several days. All in all, it was a nice place to stay in a beautiful scenic area.

Great, hidden spot

Lovely cabin on a small lake. Plenty of space to accommodate our family. It had everything needed to make you feel like home. Very quiet and relaxing. Try to take the hardtop there, because the gravel road coming from Sayner is a bit bumpy.

Enjoyed a beautiful week in the north woods complete with sunshine and northern lights. The cabin was very clean and comfortable and well-equipped. It’s set far enough from town that you feel like you are truly getting away from it all. Would definitely recommend!

This is a nice rustic property. The host did a great job in communicating with us. The location is cozy, comfortable and remote. The hot water was an issue when you have 4 adults and have to wait to shower. We figured it out and couldn’t all take showers at the same time. We also ran the dishwasher when we were gone. A few additions that would be good - scrubber pad - stainless pans are hard to clean without this. Clear instructions on self snow removal. We had to shovel walkway and stairs after 12 inches of snow. Thank you for having lights labeled for use as well as kitchen cabinets. This property is off the main road about 8 miles. It was a very snowy/icy road with a lot of hills and curves - you need to go slow- 25 mph or less. I’m sure in the summer months this is not an issue. We spent a lot of time getting to/from the main road.

Melissa was very responsive to our needs and answered questions as soon as she got them. Cabin was nice and comfortable. Had plenty of supplies and the view of the lake was beautiful! It was a chilly weekend, but we played games and had smores by the campfire. We would love to come back when the weather is nicer!

Great Stay by the lake!

The cabin was perfect for a few family. The beds were comfortable! The amenities were as described. Upstairs shower/tub, is definitely a bathtub. Not really any shower. So I found myself going down stairs to use the other bathroom. Otherwise the property was great and comfortable!
