First visit to NW

We had a great time at at lake Nahwatzel and the area. We had four beautiful days hiking in the mountains and enjoying the clear clean lake water. The camp was cozy, a throw back in time to my youth.

The location on the lake and the view from the cabin are both exceptional. Communication was excellent all through the process including registering, directions, and what to use and how to use the things at the property. Everything was clean and in working order. Had a wonderful time and would return.

Family stay at the lake

We had a great stay at the cabin for our anniversary. We love Lake N! We brought the kids with us this year. The kids caught some trout and we all went out on our paddle boards. Such a great weekend!

Awesome view from several different levels of the porch.

Home was clean and spacious. Deck was awesome with chairs and a small table for relaxing and eating. Dock was comfortable and plenty of room for a couple of chairs to sit and relax it.

Perfect Stay

The cabin was exactly as described; cozy, relaxing, clean and perfect for a family get-a-way. The neighbors on each side of the home were very kind and welcoming even though we were just tourists for a week. The lake was great for swimming, paddle boarding, jet skiing and fishing. The communication from the property manager was top notch and overall we couldn't have been happier with the entire experience. We would definitely recommend Grampy's Cabin!

Beautiful Setting

We brought our two grandsons for 4 nights. They had fun swimming and jumping off the dock. We caught enough fish to keep it interesting. The boys each had a full size bed upstairs and we had a room downstairs. We brought our little boat and were able to tie it to the dock for easy access. A great trip for all!!
