Peaceful retreat

My boys and I stayed here for a few days. We loved playing in the lake off the deck and going around with the kayaks!! Host was very accommodating and made sure we had all we needed! She is very easy to talk to and will make sure your stay is pleasant
Stayed 3 nights in Jun 2025

This has been our weekend cabin until August of last year when we decided we didn't want to leave on Sundays! We now live full time in a different floating cabin, and decided to keep this one and share with others! We hope visitors will make lasting memories as we have, with lots of dock tales to share for a lifetime!

What makes this property unique

This property offers a full size stove & refrigerator. Plenty of outdoor space to fish, play (floating mat at cabin), and watch some beautiful sunsets! We have inlcuded 2 fishing kayaks with rental to use in the harbor, catch your dinner and grll it up! We also have 2 extra wide canoes available for rent if needed!

One propane tank is also included (additional can be purchased at Marina if needed).
