Cute cabin in the woods.

Really enjoyed our stay. Cabin is very clean and there is plenty of room outside to park toys. Boat launch is down the road.

Perfect

We wanted a place where we could relax once we were off the lake for the day. We were pleased by the cleanliness and coziness of this cabin. We had all the amenities we needed and the beds were comfortable. We will definitely be back next year during our annual visit to Backus!

The pictures don’t do the property justice, it’s even more adorable in person! Need to add the new age record player under entertainment, that was a hit for us old timers! Lots of kitchen essentials for all our needs. Sauna a bonus after a long day of cool weather fishing. We did have to clean the fridge and floors a bit when we got there but overall very clean and well kept cozy cabin.
