The place is beautiful a nice! The only things we had to get was hand soap, a liquid measuring cup, and a bigger bowl for mixing cookies. But otherwise it was a nice place to stay with the other essential items available! The living room furniture is nice and comfy and great for naps!

Quick getaway

A winter weekend getaway. A short drive to restaurants and breweries. We were able to snowshoe from the cabin directly onto the lake. The cabin was clean, kitchen nicely equipped, and had a cozy fireplace. It snowed during our stay and the property's parking lot and walkways were cleared a couple times - much appreciated! A great spot to stay.
