Excellent place to stay. Property was beautiful and was really nice place to feel at home and relax, plenty of things to do and see in the area close by to the house. It was also pet friendly which was fantastic. Vrbo app is not user friendly but host was more than helpful in the check in and stay process. Would definitely recommend staying at this listing.

This place was amazing! Tons of room in the house which is tastefully decorated. But the real joy is the screened in porch and deck overlooking the water. The use of the kayaks was the topper! Highly recommend!

A perfect lakeside getaway! Warm and inviting living space, amazing screened-in porch and a very open and workable kitchen. Any utensil you need and even an outdoor grill. It rained all the time we were here but I did get in a couple of hours of fishing and caught a few small ones. Our host were responsive and welcoming. We are actually looking at dates for next year and a possible return. Great stay!

The host was great. The cabin is awesome, and it is a great setting with the sherwood shop up the street, and the lake and wood stove. Really quiet and relaxing. The only thing is the beds are, for the most part, not comfortable. Bring extra pillows.
