Beautiful Cabin
Beautiful place with amazing view. Clean and well stocked. Had some confusion on the digital locks that was 100% my fault but the owners were all over it. Only draw back is the road to get to the cabin is in poor condition. It’s accessible just rough

Great Place!
Overall very nice!! The August unlock feature was a little cumbersome having to sign up for an application, other than that all good.

Winter Wonderland!
Words cannot describe the amazing time we had at Bay Lake! It was so beautiful inside and out! The house was immaculate and so comfortable for our family of 7, we were missing 2 from our family who couldn't make it, but could have easily accommodated them! It was a marvelous get away for our family, we played games, did puzzles, baked cookies and wonderful dinners (in the more than fully equipped kitchen), went sledding, took long walks along the icy lake shore and had a bonfire under a beautiful starry sky on New Year's Eve! We could not be more thankful to Ivy and Craig for sharing their beautiful home with us! They were so kind and easy to communicate with, even calling to check on us as we drove up under snowy conditions! The attention to detail and provisions available in the house were amazing! Our only hope now is to secure some time in the summer to experience this amazing place during a different season! Thank-you, Thank-you, Thank-you Ivy and Craig! We had an absolutely magical time!

Craig & Ivy purchased the Lookout of Baby Lake in the spring of 2019, a fulfillment of a dream we held for years. The previous year had been consumed with Ivy fighting breast cancer, but during that saga we were reminded to make memories now instead of waiting for the perfect time. We are so excited to be able to share our vacation home with other families who can create lasting memories with their own loved ones.
