WHAT TO KNOW BEFORE YOU BOOK A note for first-time cabin guests: this property has been beautifully remodeled but remains a cabin at heart. Bedrooms don't have closets, the washer/dryer is located in the kitchen, and the dining area is on an enclosed porch — all just as shown in the photos. If you're looking for a traditional home layout, this may not be the right fit. If you're looking for an authentic lakefront cabin experience, you're going to love it. Check-in is after 3 PM. Check-out is before 10 AM. Rental agreement is required with ID verification. Pet Policy: $100/pet, per stay. 2 dogs max. Inventory: We provide a "starter package" of inventory for our cabin: 3 rolls of T.P. and 1 full roll of paper towels. BYO Life Vests HIGHLY encouraged to ensure proper size. Firewood is available for purchase.
