We loved the spacious cabin that was clean, well layed and had all the amenities we needed. We were there in mid October so no swimming but absolutely the dock for afternoon cocktails ans sunsets. Centrally located for the bike trails we used. Before we left we booked the cabin again for next year!!

My family loved the cabin and the lake! Highly recommend including the pontoon in your stay during the non-winter months. Great location and check-in was easy. The cabin was cozy and had all the amenities one could ask for. Had a great time bbq'ing and hanging out around the campfire at night.Would highly recommend!

Perfect place! Loved watching the otters out swimming every day, great swimming & fishing for kids! Couldn’t even keep up with all the fish they were catching, house is beautiful! Communication with host was quick & easy! Only downfall was property was very close to highway so you could hear traffic but honestly didn’t mind but my parents didn’t enjoy that part! Pontoon was great too! 10/10 would recommend & would go back! Amazing “northern memories” were made!

Host profile image
This property is a dream come true for us! For years we have wanted a place in the Northwoods to call our own and start to make memories at but equally as much we want to share it with others who can take some time to step away from the craziness of life and slow down... Relax..... and fall in love with "Gods Country".
From the bottom of our hearts we want nothing more than for you to enjoy yourself.... its our goal to every year add more amenities to make your stay even better.

Thank you for your patronage and consideration
