Cozy lakeside cabin! Rustic retreat w/ private dock- Pet Friendly!

Hi Shannon, thank you so much for your thoughtful review. Feel free to come back and stay with us anytime at Pipe Lake!

Hi Timothy! Thanks so much for staying with us at Pipe Lake! Come back and stay again anytime!

Hi Valerie! We were thrilled to host your group for your intimate ceremony - at both properties! Please do come back next year to celebrate your anniversary. 🙂 We love to celebrate our renters!

Alan, we really appreciate your flexibility on the dang door - sorry about that! The bathroom as listed as a toilet and sink only. Cheers and safe travels!

Hi Jeff! It is highlighted and detailed this rustic retreat doesn't have a bath/shower. It adds to the "rustic glamping lakeside appeal" in our eyes. :) For future renters reading this, please keep in mind this is a rustic and family owned and loved property, but minimal and simple! Do not be expecting hotel vibes. We happily host guests looking for a quaint and simple retreat by the lake. Good luck and safe travels to you, Jeff! We hope your next retreat is more ideal for what you've got your eye on!

Hi Pam! Thank you for your review. Unfortunately, the communication with Pam and her party was challenging from the start. The cabin's features are posted online absolutely true to how it is enjoyed in person. All of the features Pam was expecting to see in fact were not showcased online. There is no cliff down to the water - a few steps from deck to dock. We were disappointed that due to their lack of researching and expectations, our well-loved family cabin took the heat of their frustrations. The cabin is rustic - not dirty, aged - not rusty, and a treasure for those wanting to escape lakeside - not just looking to "rough it." We ended things on a happy note via many conversations and incoming phone calls from the renters but would hope those looking into renting the cabin would enjoy it for its simplicity, cool rustic vibe and amazing waterfront location. :)

Happy holidays! Thank you for your thorough response. Unfortunately as listed, the fireplace is not in working order. We added a second space heater for the area, but will certainly add another four incoming guests before the weather gets warmer! We are quick to correct things that are not working during a stay- bathroom sink etc, so next time, please feel free to message us so we can tackle this right away and make the tv/dvd easier to navigate. These reviews are the ones that make future days better for incoming guests! We really were happy to host you. It was a joy to have you guys at the lake and hope to have you back with the improvements you mentioned, soon! Thank you!

Yikes! For a renter that didn't read the fine print and demanded a refund (and got it upon request immediately after) we did not expect this unkind review. It's true! When you arrive to the cabin, please do have a light with you. That being said, there is a newly graveled pathway down to the cabin followed by a paved pathway. You're welcome to click on the outdoor lights when you arrive! This is the first we've heard of our upgraded pathway being a problem for any renter. Secondly, true! There is no shower or bath in this unit! Please do your research unlike this unfriendly renter and expect a more rustic and unique escape! There is a full-size bed and pull out now to replace the twin bed option we had before. In regard to the "dead animal" smell, we think your review stinks, and we take pride and joy in welcoming guests to this unique and truly beloved private property on the lake.

That's a great tip, Laurie! We will see if we can find another option to keep the cabin every changing and comfortable for new groups. We're so glad you came to stay and enjoyed yourself! Cheers and safe travels!

We're so glad you had a comfortable and great time at Pipe Lake. Please do come stay with us again soon as the seasons change! Safe travels and enjoy the rest of your summer!
