We loved everything about this home. So very neat and clean. The property is located within minutes to the launch ramp. The owner Scott was very responsive and helpful. He even recommended where we could dock our boat, since we are new to the area. An absolute jem. We are already talking about booking again next year. Thanks Scott for hosting our family and giving us such a memorable trip.

Thank you, Sarah for your kind and detailed review! Our cabin has been listed on Airbnb for the last two years. We just listed it with VRBO. So nice to get a 10 out of 10 for our first review! Please come back and see us again.
Took our family with toddlers and a 6yo. The property couldn’t have been more perfect. It was spacious and cozy. The property itself was perfectly located, close to antlers bay marina, close to local market. As far as the property itself, the beds were surprisingly very comfortable and cozy. AC worked perfectly keeping the house cool and the outside gas fire pit was a great spot to end wonderful days on the lake. This is a vacation rental so they do things to protect the property that make sense like putting tin foil at the bottom of the oven, it changes cook times slightly but if I owned this property I would do the exact same thing. Once you get the hang of it it’s not noticeable. All propane tanks were completely full. This property made us love our trip so much we decided it needs to be an annual event for us. Cannot wait to return next year… or maybe this year!
