Beautiful lake house!

This property is beautiful, comfortable, and exceptionally equipped for a lake stay. The only slight negative is the shallow lake, but for younger kids it would be perfect! We still had a lot of floating and relaxing lake time! Highly recommend this property!

Here’s a polished review you could leave:This was the perfect cabin for two families with small children! The home was incredibly family-friendly, with thoughtful amenities like a high chair, Pack ‘n Play, and a baby gate at the stairs. The open-concept layout provided plenty of space for the kids to play, and we really appreciated that there weren’t lots of fragile decorations, trinkets, or sharp corners to worry about.The beach was ideal for young children, and the lake level was low during our stay—only about 12 inches deep well past the end of the dock—which made kayaking with the little ones much less stressful and very enjoyable.Ryan was a kind, responsive host and made everything easy from start to finish. The cabin was exceptionally clean, the beds were comfortable, and the linens and towels were noticeably high quality. Overall, the cabin was comfortable, welcoming, and exactly what we were looking for.We will absolutely be booking again and would love to come back in the winter to try out the backyard for sledding. Thanks, Ryan, for a wonderful stay!

Lake was amazing! Shallow and sandy bottom, great fishing, peaceful. The weather was perfect and every night had a different but beautiful sunset. The house was clean, comfortable, and just the right size for family. Kitchen was well stocked and had plenty of appliances and extras. Sunroom was perfect for game nights and afternoon naps. Hope we can have another fun filled time again very soon! The owners were the best at making sure to keep the communication going and answered our questions immediately!

We had a great vacation over memorial day weekend. A highlight was sitting by the campfire at night and listening to the loons on the lake.

Our family had a wonderful stay, and the cabin was great! There were tons of games/puzzles, a well stocked kitchen, two kayaks, a standup paddle board, and chairs for sitting outside around the fire. The loons calling at night and the fireflies all over were a highlight. The host communication was seamless and prompt throughout. Highly recommend staying here and we hope to be back!
