About this property

Lakefront Cabin w/ Private Pier & Firepit

Living Spaces:
With two separate living spaces, there’s plenty of room for everyone to find their groove. The spacious living room features vaulted ceilings with beautiful beadboard detail. Between the upper dormer windows and the lower windows and door, the home is flooded with sunshine. They also create the perfect vantage point from which to enjoy the lakefront view as you relax comfortably on the sofa or leather recliners. When the evening rolls around, take advantage of the lightning fast (500+Mbps) WiFi to stream your favorite show, movie, or sporting event on the 70” HDTV.

The game room brings the outdoors in with a full wall of screening. Here is the spot for a friendly competition on the English dartboard. Then it’s time to crack a beer from mini-fridge and tune in to your favorite streaming service on the flat-screen TV.
Or maybe play a board game from the extensive collection.

Cooking & Dining:
The fully-equipped kitchen has an open-concept style, perfect for keeping up with the conversation! You’ll find all you need to create anything from a simple snack to a gourmet meal. Maybe you’ll get lucky with some fresh fish for dinner! The large peninsula bar comfortably seats three.

With the stunning views and comfortable weather, you may want to enjoy your meals alfresco. We make it easy with both a picnic table, charcoal grill, and fire pit that doubles as a grill with Adirondack chairs all around.

Sleeping Accommodations and Bathrooms:
The Heart of Huxley Bay sleeps up to 10. The first level features two queen bedroom suites and the loft has two full beds and a queen pull-out couch.

We also provide a Pack ‘n’ Play for your little ones.
Each of the two ensuite baths offers a tub/shower.
For our remote worker guests, the loft boasts a complete workstation, including mounted monitors, docking station, and printer!

Outdoor Amenities:
Where do I start?! The star of the show here is Mother Nature herself - just check out that amazing lakefront view, as soon as you set foot out the front door.
The private pier allows you to swim, fish, or boat (or any combination thereof!) right outside the front door.

Gather around the firepit in the evenings to grill the catch of the day, roast marshmallows, or maybe just tell some ghost stories. Firewood is included.

Try your luck at the included yard games like ladder golf, kan-jam, and bottle bash.
Bring all your toys! We’ve got a large boat/RV carport with power hookups.

We love dogs and think no vacation is complete without our furry family members. They even get their own bed and fenced run here.

Catch an afternoon siesta in the braided rope hammock.

Extras:
It’s our goal to create a 5-star experience for all our guests. One of the ways we do that is by providing all the extras we would want on lake vacation. Some of these extras include kayaks, basic fishing poles and tackle, lake floats, coolers, and folding camp chairs.

Hi, we’re Josh and Laurie—thanks for considering Heart of Huxley Bay!

We fell in love with this area for its calm waters, quiet forests, and the simple joy of lake life. After spending time here ourselves, we designed this cabin to be comfortable, practical, and easy to enjoy—whether you’re here to fish, relax, work remotely, or just unplug.

We love sharing places that allow guests to slow down, spend time outdoors, and make meaningful memories. We hope Heart of Huxley Bay becomes one of those places for you.

Make yourself at home—we’re glad you’re here!
