Well, overall - we had a family blast! It's not a big cottage, but very cozy and characterful, enough for 5-6 people. The key is the outside! Direct lake access with the pier, canoes, and the big floating Pad! The backyard is not very steep and comfy for small kids and seniors. It has a very spacious multi-layer deck we enjoyed a lot for dining, as a lounge zone, a kid's playground, and a work office :) I had to work remotely for a couple of days and wanna mention the costly WiFi mesh system is very capable, and the i-net speed is 450/400! You can do any type of necessary online work in case you need it. The grill is decent; everything is planned and designed with purpose to provide the best accommodation you need for your family vacation!Owner communication is top-notch! There is no mobile coverage there, i-net only. P.S. Please clean up the fridge - it's very dirty.

We had a wonderful time at the Lakefront Hidden Cove Cabin. The location was absolutely beautiful and peaceful. We were at Bear Paw for my Aunt and Uncle’s 50th Anniversary Celebration and a number of the other guest were jealous of our accommodations. The communication between ourselves and our host was quick and easy. I would stay here again for sure!

Hidden Cove Cabin was wonderful, the lake was beautiful.

The most well stocked we’ve stayed in, so cozy and comfortable. Comfortable beds and furniture. The hosts were easy to communicate with and very gracious and generous. The cove was private and the lake was beautiful. Perfect for kayaking, swimming, pontooning and fishing. Hope to be back soon!

Wonderful stay

We really enjoyed our time and Erin and Nathan's cabin. The weather was not cooperative, but being so close to the dock, we could simply go out on our boards during the windows it cleared up. Cabin is well-stocked and communication was excellent. The wifi was more than adequate for us.

Perfect lake side get away

This house was in such a fantastic spot on the lake! The little cove it’s nestled in was nice and peaceful but you could easily get out to the main part of the lake for more fun. It was just the right size house for my family and there is plenty to do at the cabin outside for the teenage boys to enjoy! The host was very kind and helpful and we could not have asked for a better weekend get away to see family in the area!
