Wonderful spot on the lake for our vacation. The cabin had superb views, was comfortable and everything worked well. Wi-Fi was excellent. The kids enjoyed catching fish off the dock. Weather was very nice.

Great place to stay on Lake St Helen. Great fishing, Close to downtown and other places. Lots of beds for people and the layout of the house works great for larger families. Kitchen has the things you need to cook at good meal. Large patio firepit works great and sitting out on it listening to the Loons is a bonus. House is well kept. Parking is tight. Would stay again. We had a great time!
