About this property

Cozy, upgraded, pet friendly cabin, formerly Cuba Lake Vintage Duck House.

This cozy, pet friendly cabin has been upgraded and remodeled. It was formerly known as the Cuba lake vintage duck house. The cottage sets, approximately 80 feet away from the big house. We have a fire pit and walking paths on 5 acres of property and we are exactly 1 mile from the center of the town of Cuba. You can also walk to the dam on Cuba lake. Jim and Laurie live in the big house and leave guests to their privacy but are available for questions and needs via text. We can now accommodate three guests with our upgraded loveseat, single bed full out.
Our prices include all fees. No hidden fees.

James was friendly as he greeted us. The cabin was clean and cozy. The cabin is situated right on the main thoroughfare of the village so you have easy access to the village for any needs and access to the cheese shop (over 400 cheeses! Who knew?). Oven was not working but James assures us that it will be repaired. Enjoy the sights of Cuba!
101 Bears are present in and around the cabin.
Fire pit and table were nice additions.
A driveway loop between the house and the cabin makes for easy entrance and exit for parking.

Cozy and comfortable stay

This little property was just as advertised - it was cozy and comfortable. I stayed during a cold snap and was warm enough and got a nice hot shower. The property owners were very welcoming and responsive. Would definitely stay there again!

Cozy and comfortable! Your own little "house" with a great porch for coffee and reading. A place to sit for movie-watching or reading, good seating for eating meals. Just enough bathroom for getting ready. Location is great for quick trips into town and expressways to visit other towns nearby hiking locations. Great communication with owners.

Great little place to stay in Cuba! Perfect for a couple (or two sisters). Everything we needed was provided (linens, full kitchen, heat). Back porch was lovely! Jim was very responsive and made sure we had everything we needed. Will be back!
