Wonderful property, photos and descriptions do it justice. Cabin is clean and well stocked with kitchen supplies, games and floaties. Quick trip from the cities, it’s nice to feel like you’re alway without being too far away!

Preview to 4th of July Celebration

This was a great stay for parents with married children as well as a teen and 10 year old boy.Cabin is well comfortable for six, but not spacious, also a little fun and quirky. There is plenty of room outside for spreading out.The lake is not large, but fairly quiet and peaceful, great for included kayaks.

Scenic, peaceful gem

The lower level a godsend for those traveling with kids: feels like a real cabin, built-in beds, and a lovely sitting area looking directly onto the lake. Upstairs two spacious bedrooms, another living area again looking out onto the lake, and a full kitchen with mordern amenities kitchen

Relaxing northern retreat

We greatly enjoyed our stay at the cabin, and were very comfortable in the home! Although my parents are in their 80's, they had no problem negotiating the stairs down to the dock, and loved watching the sun set from the bench out on the dock. Great fishing, bird watching (we saw loons and trumperter swans among many other kinds of birds), fun kayaking and paddle boarding lake, too! Highly recommend for a fun stay.
