Classic rustic lakeside cottage. We were there in the Fall, and glad to have the fireplace, but with direct access to the lake it would also be great for a summer getaway.

We had such a great stay here for my 25th birthday weekend. The cabin was exactly what we were looking for and was a great place to spend the weekend with a group of friends. It was comfortable, clean, and had everything we needed for a relaxing getaway.The space was especially great for having a larger group together, with plenty of room to hang out, cook, eat, and enjoy the property. The cabin had a really cozy atmosphere and made the weekend feel like an actual getaway rather than just staying somewhere overnight.Our host was also great and made everything easy from check-in through check-out. We’d definitely stay here again and would recommend it to anyone looking for a fun cabin getaway with friends or family!
