Great cabin! The kitchen was especially nice and had everything you need to make a good meal - pots, pans, utensils, etc. We also loved the large screened in porch which was much larger in person than I thought it would be from looking at photos.

Loved our stay! Cabin was perfect. We sat out in the porch in the evening and enjoyed the birds. Early morning we were lucky enough to see an Otter swim by. It was an easy ride to the bike trails and walking trails. Had some good meals in Crosby and Iornton.

Perfect Cabin Getaway

We were blown away by the property and how beautiful the cabin was. Excellent spot for relaxing and enjoying the lake. Even when we had a rainy day we could just sit on the screened in patio and still enjoy it. We are already talking about returning later this year!

Very nice

The property was very clean and was well appointed. We didn’t use the lake. It was a bit weedy and had visible algae which could be related to the time of year. I enjoyed the screen porch very much, especially since the the bugs were out quite a bit, we would come here again

Beautiful, clean, quiet place with a nice view of the lake. We brought our bicycles and rode them right from the cabin to the nearby trail that took us into town. Nearby places were all nice and safe with plenty of places to eat. Host was very responsive.

Could not be better

The location, right on a quiet lake and just around the corner from a Cuyuna trailhead could not be better. The house is really comfortable and has everything you need. Spent almost all our time on the large screened porch. Can’t be beat.

Great place!

Very clean home with an amazing screen porch. We spent most of our social time enjoying lake views in the porch! Paddled the kayaks and bikes at the park. Perfect weekend. Grill worked great. Kitchen well stocked but could use a spatula for the nonstick pans. Bunk house best for tweens/teens.
