Great cabin on a shared property with everything provided for you. Love having a screened in porch when bugs get bad, free firewood and little fishing boat with outboard is unheard of being included with the stay. Just a great time and place, glad I found it!!!!

We stayed here at the end of April and it was the perfect weekend getaway for our family! Very cozy cottage and the full kitchen was perfect. Beds were comfy. Very clean. Great location from downtown and very easy to access. We would love to come back when the weather is warmer to enjoy all the amenities!

We were up for snowmobiling. This place was great for 27ft trailer and Duramax pick up truck. Beds are really comfortable and the rest of the house was nice.

What an experience!! Even just for a night you will fall in love with this place!! We are glad we went out of our way to stay. We will definitely be back next year and enjoy more of the winter sports.
We loved our time at the cabin. It was fantastic having everything right there for us. We’re able to use the Jon boat, kayaks, and paddle boards in the lake which was so clear. Sunset over the lake too were beautiful to watch from the living room or screened in front porch. The weather wasn’t always cooperative but great times were had by all.

Dear Aaron, We wanted to extend a heartfelt thank you for choosing our home during your recent visit. It was a pleasure serving you, and we hope you had a pleasant stay. Looking forward to your next visit!
The cabin was very nice and clean. The fishing was good. The only issue was we and other guests were told there would be plenty of room for trucks with trailers, but there really wasn't, so the lake access was blocked one morning. Make sure you plan ahead of you have trailers. If it wasn't for that, it would have been perfect.

Thank you for your review Michael. We apologize for that inconvenience you encountered due to a trailer blocking that entrance and not using the over flow area for parking. We are happy you had a great time and hope you can come visit us again!

Let me start by saying, it's easy. No need to have any anxious concerns, Miranda has it all covered. The cottages are clean as can be, so well equipped with kitchen stuff and bathroom stuff, bedroom stuff and other stuff too. It is such an absolute pleasure making stays here with Amanda seeing to it that all of our needs are met, whatever they may be. It was a good find for me several years ago and we keep finding ourselves with the need to return each year. It will be a good find for you too. Bill Lanham, Glenwood, Illinois.
Brand new cabin. Nice to have access to John boat, paddleboards, and kayaks. The hammock was so amazing that we bought one from the local man who makes them. The owner was super nice and brought us a pastry one morning, which was lovely. Overall a great stay. The only thing we had trouble with was the people staying in the other cabins around us. We were suppose to have our own kayak, paddleboard, and chairs due to COVID and the neighbor's kids constantly took them from us. I think it needed to be explicitly said that everyone had their own equipment and it needed to stay with the cabin. Our goal was to have a relaxing week, and it was but I wish I had known other cabins were so close. Never really had any silent time to just enjoy the outdoors. I would 100% come back, but with my extended family or a large group of friends so we could rent all 4 cabins and have it all to ourselves... with the goal to socialize and not to chill.

Thanks for your review. We’ve now separated and labeled the kayaks and stand up boards for each cottage. So each cottage has a dock, boat/motor, kayaks and stand up board for their exclusive use. Thanks the suggestion. We hope to see you again.
