There is a dining area adjacent to the kitchen, as well as another on the lake front outside porch. The second room on the main floor is a living area with TV/DVD, futon, and hammock which is great for naps.
The second floor of the log home has a bath with pedestal sink, toilet, and bath tub. There are two bedrooms upstairs (one large bedroom with two twin beds and a queen bed; the second bedroom with a queen bed). Each bedroom has its own pedestal sink.

This interesting and unique old log cabin is located on very private, wooded property and is geared to outdoor fun and living. In addition to the inside bathroom, there is an outdoor shower with hot/cold water. A covered outdoor cooking area with a 5 burner gas grill, under counter ref. and water is available for added convenience. If you prefer cooking out with charcoal or wood, there is also a lakeside fire pit and charcoal grill with water. The dock area is large, with a table, umbrella, slide, and rope swing. The beach is sandy and gently sloping which is great for small children. Also, two kayaks along with other lake toys are available for use. The fun won't stop when the sun goes down, because the dock, all cooking areas, and paths are well illuminated with outdoor lighting.
This property is located on a peninsula in a small community with a quiet private road that's great for family walks or jogging.

We had a Fantastic weekend staying at the cabin. Dave and Carmen were wonderful to communicate with from the time we reserved, the questions that we had along the way and were very welcoming at check in. The work and detail they they have done to the cabin and property is amazing. They thought of everything and then some extras to be sure a Great Time is had by all, right down to fresh flowers in mulitple rooms. We will definitely be looking to visit there again.
Beautiful and unique property, like going back in time. Mr. and Mrs. Oliver are gracious hosts. They make you welcome, then give you your peace and quiet.
Peaceful stroll back in time on a beautiful cove. This is my 3rd stay. I intend to go back every year. Whoever I happen to bring with me falls in love with it as well. Don’t miss this experience.
We have stayed here now twice and will keep coming back! It is small but just perfect for the four of us and even our two dogs. The cabin is extremely clean and organized with all of the necessities you can think of. The decor makes it very cozy. Great sandy beach area to enter the water, awesome dock, and tons to do with all the lake essentials.
Probably the most accurate listing on Vrbo. Our stay was perfect in every way.The property is a legit cabin and clearly a labor of love by the owner. He has thought of everything right down to every counter-top appliance imaginable. The views are amazing and the peace and quiet is unparalleled. If you need a mental reset, this is the place.
Awesome property! Charming, comfortable, amazing lake view/access. The owner was communicative and meticulous is helping visitors enjoy the home -- clearly identified light switches, well equipped, and clean. We had a wonderful time and are considering coming back in the warmer weather to take advantage of the lake and all the available gear (kayaks, canoe, rope swing, slide, outdoor grill, and fire pit)! Enjoyed our morning coffee each morning with a quiet, beautiful view. Highly recommend!!
Our stay was amazing. Property owners were phenomenal. Explained everything about the property, nicely cleaned and spacious. Rustic old cabin and exactly what we were looking for. Looking forward to our next stay there.
Great setting. Great place to stay. Very responsive host. We’ve stayed here multiple times over the past few years.
