Great Lake Getaway

Great property for a brief family gathering. Plenty of space for the six of us. So nice getting to enjoy the deck, disc golf and lake access. Be aware the bay on which the property sits is rather shallow (which this lake is known for) but we were able to get to the main lake slowly. Really enjoyed our stay and would stay again.

A visit to Vince Schute bear sanctuary

We were told by multiple people to visit the Vince Schute bear sanctuary because we enjoy watching wildlife. The drive is five hours away so we looked for some place to stay and make it a mini vacation. I came across this house and what a great find! Quiet, comfy & secluded. Al and Becky are so gracious, kind and helpful.

Good for the Soul

The location was gorgeous, the cabin felt like home, the water was the perfect temperature, full access to a canoe and kayaks was lovely. As a single Mom, knowing the owner was next door was a great sense of security. The PDF sharing local attractions was super thoughtful and helpful. It was clear from the reviews that this experience would go above and beyond. Yet, the experience exceeded my expectations. Eyeing the neighbor's pontoon, my kid was literally thinking how fun it'd be to go on a pontoon ride. A moment later, it was if the owner had read our minds and was offering us a ride. What a treat! We saw more of the lake and stopped in a shallow sandy area to hang out in the water. It was an epic adventure and just what kids need. What we all needed. While I hope you too enjoy your NBG getaway, it's almost too good to share it! It's the best, you should go there.

Beautiful location, view and cozy place to stay.

Michael was extremely helpful and available at a moment’s notice. He had a generator available and ran it throughout the night when electricity went out at night due to a bad thunderstorm. He was a great host, and the property we stayed at was beautiful, clean and comfortable with all the amenities we needed,

Lake cabin

We enjoyed our stay. Our host did a great job providing information about both the cabin, how to get there, and about local attractions. The large deck provided great access to the lake - we especially enjoyed listening to the loons at night. The cabin was clean with plenty of space. The kitchen was well stocked and the access to the weber grill was much appreciated. Also appreciated having access to the canoe and 2 kayaks. Would highly recommend!

Perfect Side Lack Getaway

Everything about this booking was perfect from reservation through check out. The host was very communicative through all phases. Check in was easy. The home was clean with all the advertised amenities. He even gave a loaf of fresh cardamom bread! The kayaks and canoe were in good working order and stored neatly. The beds were comfortable. Nothing but top notch things to say about this booking and the host!

Great for families

Our hosts made everything easy. The property was easy to find and accommodating. Everything we needed was made available. We floated, fished, kayaked, canoed and cooked. The grill is a little small and a couple of the beds are very soft so plan accordingly. The host goes out of their way to make your trip a vacation though. Great people!

Lovely Cabin!

Our group of 7 had a lovely time at the cabin! The hosts were incredibly kind and easy to communicate with. The cabin had plenty of cozy room for all of us. Even though the weather didn’t go our way we loved our time! We were able to fish off the dock and they had so many amenities for the lake! Highly reccomend.
