The cabin was very clean! Often cabins have webs in the windows - this one did not! The area was so quiet and peaceful. The lake was wonderful for floating with very little boat traffic, even on a holiday weekend. The road in was a bit rough but that made it feel a bit more private. Be sure to pack everything because it is not an easy jaunt to the grocery store. I highly recommend and hope to go back!

The host was amazing at communicating from the booking all the way to the day we checked out. The property was above and beyond what we expected! We walked in and even my husband said 'we are never leaving!' We spent hours upon hours kayaking, paddle boarding, swimming, and playing games. My 12 yo caught endless fish with hotdogs off the float. My 14 yo was off the devices the entire week. My basset hound lived his best life lounging on the covered porch over seeing everything and taking his first spin on the kayak. This property had everything you need and more, I ordered grocery delivery from shaws to be delivered the afternoon of check in and it was wonderful not needing to worry about coolers, shopping immediately or planning every little thing. We needed a restful family week away after a busy summer of working and putting our FIL on hospice and this was the exact thing we needed to come together and relax, unplug and unwind. THANK YOU for sharing your piece of Heaven with us
