Very impressed with the hpuse, property, amenities, and lake. Family friendly, many things to do, they have all the odds and ends to make this feel like home.We are repeat visitors as this is a special place. Communication with the priperty owner was quick when needed for one specific question. Thrilled with this location, we will be back again.
We absolutely loved our stay at Island Lake. The two cabins gave us so much space to spread out, and the sandy beach was the perfect place to enjoy the lake!
Wonderful property!

Thank you so much for your review. We are so happy you enjoyed your stay!!
Home was beautiful and spacious! Lots of activities, games, and entertainment. The beach area was clean and just a short walk from the deck. Kitchen was fully stocked with utensils and cooking items. Host was quick to answer questions. Only downside was the bathrooms were not super well stocked with toilet paper.
The house was amazing! Lots for all the kids to do. We loved the beach area. Host was wonderful to communicate with when we couldn't figure out the tv. We had a few different families staying together and the bedrooms were perfect.
We had a wonderful time. Plenty of space for our big group. Lots of options for seating inside or out. Hosts were responsive to messages. Already booked for next year. The only confusion we had is that we thought there was another bed in the small cabin with the bunk bed like it is in the big cabin but there were still plenty of sleeping spaces.
Great space! Plenty of room to spread out and relax with common areas large enough to comfortably gather the whole group for meals and games. The property was well kept inside and out. Very well stocked.
BEAUTIFUL property!! Plenty of space and something for everyone!! Wonderful beach area. - with kayaks , paddle boat, and everything you need to enjoy the beautiful water!! We have been searching for the perfect property to rent for our family vacation - and finally found it!! Can’t wait to return!!
This property worked very well for our group of 12. The kids loved the game room! Nice dock to keep our water toys tied up to. Great smaller fishing lake and also great clean lake to swim in. The cabins had everything we needed to enjoy our stay. We would definitely book this cabin again.
We're a group of high school friends and our spouses, we get together every summer for a lake weekend. This place was so clean and inviting. Every detail was taken care of, down to the sand on the beach was raked. It was such a wonderful place to stay! I wish there were more than 5 starts we could give them.
This property is fantastic. The location is great, the lake was quiet, clear, warm, and fun for all ages. The kids really enjoyed the lake, beach, yard, swings, play sets, and game room. The adults enjoyed the kayaks, paddle boat, and game room.
The house and guest house are very nice. We had enough space for our large extended family and there are a lot of great gathering spaces. It is very kid friendly. This ranks at the top of the places we have stayed at with our family. We would love to stay as this property again.
We loved this house and cabin. The two houses were perfect for us with 7 bedrooms, space for everyone, many lake toys(we used them all). The wildlife, privacy and quiet of the lake were amazing. The house was clean and new and amenities were plentiful, with lots of toys for the kids. Kara was very responsive! Our kids and grandkids can’t wait to go back.
We have done winter friends retreats with our families for over a decade now. (Crazy how time flies!) We loved this cabin set up for our crew. There was plenty of space for the kids to play and the parents to visit, we enjoyed big family meals and visits in the kitchen/dining/living room space, we loved the beautiful sunsets by nightly fires as the kids played, caught fish ice fishing right out in front of the cabin, took peaceful hikes and walks around the property, and just enjoyed the space. Such a great location! Highly recommend this cabin listing!
This property has it all! The house was clean, beautiful and well designed for our grown family-our adult children and 4 children under 11. There were great toys and sand for lake fun for all on the sunny days. The game room was so cool-variety and fun for all ages on the rainy days! The table space inside and deck views and seating made dinners and relaxing so easy. The appliances were great; and 2 full sz refrigerators make food storage ample.
We would definitely recommend this property will definitely be back!

Thank you for your review! We are so happy your family enjoyed your time on Island Lake.
This place was perfect for our 2nd annual friend cabin weekend. So much so, we already booked for next year! We had kids age range from 6 months to 7 years and there were toys for all ages. The kitchen was stocked with all appliances and the Blackstone was used multiple times. The beach area was perfect for our crew of swimmers and sand players. Kayaks for use was a bonus! Loved the trip around the lake.
The space was perfect for 5 families of 17 people to spread out, play games, and have relaxed downtime. The place was clean and well kept up!
The communication with the host was flawless, she was quick to respond to help us with booking for next year and we are already looking forward to it!
