We've stayed her for 1 night for the last 4 years when we drive our son to camp . It is clean and has all the basic amenities you need for a night or weekend. Owners very accommodating with request for early check-in. Much better than a hotel for the price. Pet friendly.

Upon arrival the code didn't work apparently the cleaner never reset the code or clean the house the place was filthy eventually the owner did call back but we really needed to use the bathroom. The TVs don't work but there are two TVs neither don't work they don't connect anything and all the remotes don't have batteries so after I bought batteries it wasn't worth trying. The neighbors came over and checked in on us being nosy there was a stray dog at one point that was wandering through the yard kind of scary and big. I had no idea when trash pickup was and I missed the truck going by. Everything in the house is damaged the drapes the lamps the chairs everything is very low quality and they try to blame the damage on you so take lots of pictures and get ready for a full-on debate after you check out but the place is very run down kind of like a roach motel and then they're going to try to blame a random stain or burn mark they're picnic table had burn marks all over it a lot of their Rusty roof parts are falling off there's trash all around the house I did my best to clean up when I was there but the place is a dump.

I have pictures of the damage that you did you are the one that broke the lamps and destroyed the place. Like leaving a bottle of syrup with no lid on top of the cupboards where they had to get on a chair to put it up there. The house was clean but these people left food and garbage everywhere I wish I could post the pics of how they destroyed my house

This is my first rental I just thought this cabin was so nice and comfy that I wanted to share it.

Why they chose this property

This was my uncle's vacation property that my family inherited when he passed. I made it into a very comfy cottage to enjoy what beauty it has to offer

What makes this property unique

We do have a fishing boat that is available for rent.
