We had a fantastic stay at this beautiful cabin! The home was cozy, spotless, and fully stocked with everything we needed. The property is peaceful and absolutely gorgeous, and the amenities made our stay even better.The lake was just steps from the cabin and great for relaxing by the water. It was shallow enough that we could touch the muddy bottom, and there was a good amount of seaweed and green plant matter floating around. It didn’t stop us from enjoying the peaceful views and time by the water.Overall, we had a great experience and would definitely stay again!

Yes. the host was great. We did have problems getting into the cabin when we arrived. The code did not work in for the door. Called host and she was able to give a code to enter. We had a great hike in the woods. Pictures of cabin do tend to make the cabin seem bigger than it really is. Stairs to loft are very unsafe. We enjoyed our stay. Thank you!

Our cabin pictures were taken professionally and no rooms were enhanced to make them appear any larger. I responded and called Susan one minute after she messaged that they could not get the code to work. I unlocked the cabin remotely and gave them another code, they were in the property within minutes. The stairs to our loft are typical cabin stairs and have passed code inspections, we put in our description that they are steep. We have had over 500 plus guests stay in our cabin without any issues. As always, I tell all guests to review our cabin rental listing to ensure that there is no confusion as to what we offer. This guest messaged several times after her booking around 2am asking if the basement was finished and heated, etc....I had to keep referring her back to the listing as all of it is well described and pictures show that it was finished.

It was a great cabin that was right by the lake with full privacy. The trails were fun to explore and the fire pit was a relaxing way to end the day. Loved that there were walkie-talkies that worked from a good distance. The living room furniture was very comfy to sit in! The basement fit the whole family and loved that there was filtered water provided!
