Big lake getaway

We had a lovely one night getaway here. The hot tub, sauna and loft areas in the cabin were highlights for our family. Everything was perfectly clean and there were thoughtful extras like all the cooking basics like spices and oil. Kim was easy to contact and helpful when we had a technology snafu with the door lock.

Great Getaway

Cabin was exactly as advertised. It was a great location with great amenities. I will return! The only downfall was the additional cabin was a little closer than I would have preferred.

Great stay

Great stay. We had such a good time at the property. Things were clean and easy check in. Even outdoor yard kid games. Only critique would be the grill is obviously getting old and worn. We decided to get food at the brewery instead of cooking one of our meals on it. Overall really enjoyed the stay!
