Enjoyed a quick trip/stay at this cute little cabin. We were able to fish from the dock (and other local spots), relax in the hot tub, and enjoy the spectacular view of nature. Dorene & John had everything you would need there and more. We ate at the Wigwam (right down the road) which had excellent pizza. 10/10 recommend.

Lots of cobb webs and dust in most rooms. Unable to enjoy the deck or hot tube as the mosquitos were too bad even during the day. Steps to the cabin are very slanted and not very safe. Everything you need in the kitchen was provided. Everything worked as it should in the entire cabin. View was very nice from the deck.
