This cabin was just what the doctor ordered for us. Very peaceful and so much detail! Very cute and clean. The host(s) really made sure to make us feel comfortable with all the extra added touches. We definitely will add this sweet cabin to our favorites
Cabin was nice , the ac was ice cold . Lake was a short walk. Swimming beach is 10 minutes down the road. My wife and daughter misplaced some swimsuits, the owner messaged me and made them available for me, I would definitely recommend.
We enjoyed the beautiful, well stocked kitchen, comfortable bed and living room. Our favorite part was the wonderful screened in porch with bed swing and chairs to relax. The outside picnic table and fire pit area looked nice, but we were unable to enjoy it because of the rain. It would be helpful to know that the marina is on a highway that has been washed out by the recent Hurricane Helene and has a road closed sign. You can go around it and the road is accessible to the marina. There's also a fisherman's cabin nearby that was damaged by a tree that makes the dirt road to the cabin narrower. Also, be prepared for possible loud partying from boats and neighbors in the area.
There were a couple of issues. The master bed needs a new mattress, a bit uncomfortable. There was no room to park a boat

About the host
Hosted by Martina Poniatowski
Hi there! I moved to the US in 2013 for a great opportunity and love it here since day one! I love to travel and used VRBO as a guest many times. Hence I am very excited to now be able to share my piece of heaven with my fellow travelers.
Let me know if you have any question and I will be more than happy to support!
Why they chose this property
Butler has become home for us and we absolutely love the mountains and the lake. Wautaga lake is the 3rd cleanest lake in the US and only 40% of the sore line is occupied. Love the beauty and all the outdoor adventure the area has to offer!
