We had such a wonderful stay! The cabin was very clean, comfortable, and had everything we needed for a relaxing getaway. The lake view was beautiful, and we loved being able to spend time outside and enjoy the peaceful setting. The host was great to work with and made everything easy. It was the perfect place to relax, spend time on the lake, and just enjoy being away for a few days. We would definitely stay here again!

A truly wonderful stay on Rush Lake! The property is beautifully maintained, very clean, and has all of the amenities you need for a nice lake vacation. We loved the fire pit area, ate most of our meals outside at the picnic table, and spent hours at the beach. The outdoor furniture is all kept in fantastic condition - the cushions are clean and the set-up is very inviting. We are already looking at dates to come again next year!!

Great Experience! Cabin was very clean and just as described and shown in the listing. The host was very responsive and the check in and overall expectations were very clear. It was so nice to have access to a private boat launch, dock, and lift. I'd definitely recommend this property to anyone reading this.

This was our fourth stay at this incredible property, and somehow it just keeps getting better.The Johns are truly exceptional hosts, and it's easy to see the pride they take in both the property and their guests' experience. The home is situated on what we believe is the best spot on the Chain of Lakes, offering beautiful views, a private beach, dock, and every amenity you could hope for, including kayaks, pedal boats, yard games, and so much more.Everything is always impeccably maintained, from the home itself to the stunning landscaping and pristine beach. We especially appreciated the thoughtful upgrades that have been made since our visit last summer. It's clear the hosts continually invest in making an already amazing place even better.Our children always look forward to coloring in the guest book, and it's become one of our favorite family traditions. This property has become a special part of our summers, and we've already booked our stay for next year.If you're looking for a place to relax, make lifelong family memories, and stay somewhere that truly exceeds expectations, look no further. Thank you again to the Johns for another unforgettable Fourth of July. We can't wait to come back!

Beautiful location. . . cozy is the correct word. . . somewhat small interior. . . shared boat launch is convenient; it would be better if there was a closer place to park the boat trailer.

We had a great stay at this cabin! The location and private boat launch with docking was a major bonus when bringing our boat and 2 year old. Cozy little cabin, well stocked and very clean. Everything we needed and the outdoor space is so relaxing! Host was very responsive. Thanks for having us.

We just returned from our third stay at this wonderful property, and it truly feels like a home away from home. The house is always spotless, beautifully maintained, and equipped with everything (and more) one would need for a comfortable and relaxing getaway. The host Erin is consistently thoughtful, responsive, and makes the entire experience seamless from start to finish.The location is perfect—peaceful, yet close enough to enjoy all the nearby attractions. Each year we find ourselves appreciating new little touches the hosts have added, which shows how much care they put into making guests feel welcome.After three stays, we can confidently say this property is a gem, and we look forward to returning again next year. Highly recommend!

Great location lots of fish!

Beautiful spot in the bay of Rush lake. 7 year old caught 60 fish in two days off the dock! Good access to two separate docks. We rented pontoon from Your Boat Club and parked it on dock overnight. Owner was very accommodating and Toga the dog was a fun visitor!

The Best Getaway

My family and I discovered this gem last year. The host, Erin, is amazing. She is an awesome communicator and goes above and beyond to make sure you have everything you need for your stay. The property itself has more amenities than one could help for and has an unbeatable view and location on the lake. We are already booking for next year and beyond. Highly recommend!

Amazing Hosts, Incredible Place, Perfect Getaway

My family and I were absolutely blown away with our experience staying here. Our host, Erin, was incredible with communication and was very accommodating. The place itself could not be in a better location. It has a stunning view of the lake as well as its own private sandy beach and boat launch, including a dock and lift. The fire pit was wonderful for evening s’mores and family and friend hangouts. We had an absolute blast taking advantage of all of the kayaks, pedal boat, and other accessories. It was exactly what we were looking for (and then some). We will be back! Dr. G

Inside the property was not comfortable/needs improvements.

The view was great! The bed desperately needs a new mattress, very uncomfortable. the living room furniture was also very uncomfortable - old. The bathtub needs a non-slick pad or other non-slick surface. I fell in the bathtub. There was no laundry detergent for the washing machine, we had to buy some. Instructions on the freg asked us to put the bedding the washing machine and start it - yet no detergent. We obliged and used our detergent. There was constant lawn care and landscaping going on all week, it was difficult to get a good afternoon nap. I would not go back to this property.
