We had a wonderful stay in spite of some bad luck with the weather. The cabin is kid safe and the beach is a quick walk across the front yard and down the steps. Plenty of sand to play in for the kids and the lake itself was quiet and not overly busy with boating. The house has all the amenities you may need and the check in process was very easy. We’ve stayed here twice now and would do it again.

We stayed here for our wedding anniversary and enjoyed the location. It had lake access for paddle boarding and everything we needed to be comfortable. The only thing missing was a fire pit but I brought my own tabletop version, which we used at the lake. I also wish there was a full-length mirror to help us get dressed. The place overall has been very well kept.There were plenty of games and toys for children. We had access to wifi and our streaming platforms with ease. The host as very responsive and accommodating.
