We absolutely loved this cabin by the lake! It was very clean, extremely well organized, and close to everything. It was very peaceful and quiet at night and the fire pit was a nice extra touch to chill out! Alan was wonderful to work with and very prompt with his response to everything. Would stay here again in a heartbeat!

Our stay at the property was so lovely! The living area was more spacious than it appeared in the photos, and the outside area was so nice, including the view of the lake. The owners truly provided everything plus more to make the house seem like a home. Very organized and clean. We were sad to leave! Definitely highly recommend this place!

Great house, great host. More important, it was super clean! The host was very attentive, responding quickly to any questions that we had. The location is perfect, close to whatever you might need, and close to highways yet tucked away on a beautiful lake. Many thanks!

We LOVED this property on Island Lake! Super clean, well stocked kitchen! I like to cook and this place had everything we needed (even sharp knives)!! Alan was so easy to work with and made everything pleasant for us! All amenities listed were onsite and ready to use. Comfortable bed! The surroundings were great too! Quiet neighborhood, sandy beach, awesome bike and walking trails, lake was amazingly clean! I’m recommending this to other family members and we would love to return to this spot!
