Loved the seclusion of this cabin, our 2 small pups loved their freedom to explore. The house was clean and smelled great. Really felt cozy. The host Adam was easy to get ahold of the couple times we needed. Plan to go there again!

I can't believe I found this place available for the dates I was looking for when I was booking my rare vacation. The seclusion, serenity, and beautiful scenery are absolutely extraordinary. The beautiful river on one side and a captivating lake on the other side of this awesome lake house. About, or around an hour drive to other captivating places for adventure or having the option for kayaking, paddle boat, or unbelievable fishing. I will definitely save this as a great destination to stay at again, or I will adjust my schedule when it is available!!

With a small lake on one side and the river in the other, it made water activities extremely convenient. The fairly remote location made for a quiet and relaxing weekend. Would highly recommend this property.

Serene Getaway

This was a really nice getaway for my husband and I for a few days. The cabin was very clean and welcoming. We enjoyed going out on the lake on the paddle boat. There were so many turtles and they were fun to watch. It was just a nice, quiet place to recharge for a few days.

Great private lake getaway

Great place for a weekend getaway. The place was clean and had everything we needed. The location is great with a private lake on one side and a river on the other. Plenty for everyone to do. We were able to fish and play outside with my toddler. Great place for all ages! It was a nice short trip for us and just what we needed!

Such a neat property!! In between 2 bodies of water there are very few places for a dog to get lost! They had a blast exploring the grounds, we enjoyed fishing and kayaking. It had everything I expected and more. We'll be back!!!
