Fabulous cabin!

What a perfect place for a family vacation!Ample space for seven of us (plus 10 more in cabin A). Well-appointed kitchen with everything you need, great view of the lake and comfortable beds. Between the lake activities, jumping from the sauna to the ice bath, making s'mores on the fire pit or playing board games, there was never a dull moment. We loved every minute of our stay. A special thanks to our host, John, for his kind hospitality, He made us all feel so welcomed and pampered. Can't wait to come back next year!

Fantastic Rental

This property is wonderfully situated on beautiful Bay Lake and offered us everything we needed for our stay. Fantastic spot for sunrises. Plenty of lake shore and the dock space was great too. Check in and check out was easy and the owner John was engaging and welcoming. We thoroughly enjoyed our visit, including an occasional visit from Bama. We will recommend to others and not hesitate to stay here again. Thank you for sharing your home with us (and our friends next door in your other property).
