Good time.

Log home was very nice and clean. We enjoyed renting the pontoon for a day and the other lake toys there. And we had success catching fish.

So peaceful

We went for our daughters 19th birthday. Wanted to give her the best day ever and this place was stunning. Lake is beautiful, weather was amazing. Cabin is beyond what we thought it was going to be. Jake was so wonderful to communicate with. Best part is there were no mosquitos which was so awesome. Bonfire was great. We will for sure be back. Fishing was so fun too. We needed a getaway so bad to just all be together with our busy lives.

The house is perfect for a large group. Bedrooms are spread out on three levels and there is a large living room and dining space for a large group to hang out. Only down side is parking is limited and the driveway is steep. If you are traveling winter i recommend for when drive

Awesome Log Cabin

This is a very nice, large, spacious and clean log cabin on a great lake. There was plenty of room for our family. There were lots of things to do in the cabin on rainy days. The lake is very clear and quiet. Perfect for fishing and water sports. Jake (owner) was very attentive to all of our questions/requests. Our family loved our special family time at this great property!

Large cabin for groups

Overall, our group of friends enjoyed our stay. It's a neat cabin with traditional big log construction, a nice porch and plenty of beds to accommodate 10-12 comfortably. The kitchen was well stocked. It is nestled in the trees which is cozy but the view of and access to the lake is somewhat limiting. The host was easy to contact and very responsive.

Family vacation

We loved the cabin and the lake. The cabin was great for our family of 15. The path to the lake posed no problem for children and adults but might prove a challenge for the elderly.

Nice for a Large Family Weekend

We had a nice weekend here. The cabin was as described. It has a nice up north log cabin feel and Howard Lake is spectacular. It's the perfect lake for water skiing. One thing to note is the walk down to the lake from the cabin is very steep.

Just What We Needed

We booked this beautiful log house for a fishing vacation for our 4 adult children and families. It was just what we needed for the 15 in our party. The place was clean, comfortable and had plenty to do inside and out. We wouldn't hesitate to book again!
