Loved the cabin. Beautiful property, lake and time. Tamara was easy and great to work with. Loved the little extras like the smore station and had enough pots, pan, dishes, cups, to enjoy your stay!! The large deck was great for relaxing, the house layout is ideal for a large group, and the fishing off the dock was plentiful. We'll be back.

The view is amazing. The property was large and spacious, it accommodated our large group with easy. We had plenty of gathering space and enough space for people to have alone time. The deck looks out over the lake and the view is perfectly framed with trees. The shade from the trees provides just the right amount of shade. The host Tamara was as delight to work with.
