Our second visit to this adorable cabin and we hope to return again. The new deck addition made for very relaxing afternoons to enjoy lake scenery, bird watching and reading in this nature setting. The spacious yard was ideal for our little dog to run around. Steve, a gracious host was great with communication and promptly getting back to us regarding any questions. This is an ideal place for a couple who want to enjoy the peace and quiet of the Hinckley Lake/Reservoir area, but there is much to do in the area as well.

Cabin was very clean and homey. It was a bit cold with just the space heater in living room. We enjoyed the view so much! Especially the sunrise! It was secluded, lots of privacy. And we loved seeing the deer in the yard in the evenings.

Perfect camp to relax

Check in was easy, the owner Steve was responsive. Camp has lots of amenities, and the wifi works great. Perfect spot for a couple or small family to spend a few quiet days. Lake level was low but we were still able to get out to kayak, swim and fish.

Kids and dog

We had a fantastic stay! Our kids loved swimming and kayaking. The beach was a 2 minute walk from the cabin, private and spacious. The cabin was impeccable but still rustic enough to share with our kids and dog. Steve was an amazing host, and the location was very convenient. We'll be staying again!

We had a very enjoyable family vacation. Steve was a very informative and receptive host. Both of my kids had a great time on the beach, fishing, and using the theater space in the garage. The yard was clean and open. Perfect for throwing a frisbie around and a water gun fight. Highly recommend visiting the red door.

Beautiful & private location

Great little camp house with a path to the lake. Super clean, well stocked. Two fire pits (one by the house, one by the water) Perfect for two or 3 people. They even had a garage to hang out in, in case of rain. Loved my stay & the owner is super nice & responsive.

We enjoyed our long weekend at the camp. Sadly it was late summer and the water level was very low. The private beach was a mud pit. We were about to use the kayaks, but had to drag them a great distance to launch due to the mud The dogs very much enjoyed running around the big yard, and it was a good spot for stargazing. The nights were cool and the large fire pit was delightful. We brought quite a lot of kitchen items but we were a bit disappointed with the kitchen supplies.

Peaceful Retreat

The location was a perfect getaway as it was a peaceful setting next to the lake with easy access to state lands with nearby walking trails. The communication from the owner was excellent from my initial inquiry until the time we left the property. We were extremely thankful for the courtesy shown us by the owners and will certainly return to the property again the next time we visit the area. It was a great experience.

Amazing experience

Had an amazing time! The property is private and plenty of room for your dog to roam. Yet the owner is right next door in case you need them or have any questions. The kids (age 17) were able to pitch a tent on the sand by the water and sleep down there for a night. Thank you for an amazing couple nights. We will be coming back.

Peaceful

This was our 2nd time staying here and we absolutely love the place. We caught 6 different species of fish, got some wonderful bird photos. We took our boat and had a great time exploring around. We fished after dark with a campfire and there was a live band next door, (not sure what event was going on?) it was AWESOME! We met some local people in our adventures, and they were so kind. We plan on going back next year.

Red Door Cabin

Our stay at Red Door Cabin during May was great. The cabin is clean, with obvious recent and on-going updates. The unpredictable cold weather hampered a couple plans but we are thankful to Sharon for checking on us and assuring our comfort. We loved the screened-in porch and lake view, perfect for morning coffee and bird watching. We were very happy that our little dachshund was allowed to be with us and thank Steve for being so responsive to our concerns as well. This cute little cabin on Hinckley Lake served us well as we visited family in the area and we would love to return again.

Private lakeside retreat

My husband and I (and our small dog) have stayed at Red Door twice now and really enjoyed our stays. It’s in a nice private spot without feeling isolated, and the big yard is great for lounging in the sun, playing lawn games, and enjoying nightly fires. We also love that the garage is available for use so we could keep our outdoor gear in there. In addition to the big yard at the camp, there’s also quite a bit of space down at the beach, with terrain varying from grass to sand to rocks. One thing we’ve found during both stays is that there is a lot of broken glass around the beach, particularly in the grass and sand, so watch your feet and where you’re putting your picnic blankets down. The camp itself is small and rustic, but cozy and functional. The kitchen has all the basic tools needed for prepping meals but be prepared to bring all of your own consumables, including condiments, paper products/wraps/baggies, hand/dish soap, etc. I was pleased to see the bathroom has been remodeled since our last visit, and the provided linens are nice. Overall we’ve had a very relaxing couple of vacations here and would definitely consider returning again.
