Such a cozy cabin that is very secluded for that disconnection you are looking for! The view is spectacular from the back deck and the hot tub helped finish the day/night off after hiking all day! Hunter is very attentive and responds very quickly! Great place and great host!

Unforgettable Lakeside Getaway – Fun for Everyone!We had an absolutely amazing stay at this beautiful cabin on the lake! From the moment we arrived, we were charmed by the perfect blend of rustic vibes and modern amenities—it truly feels like a home away from home. The peaceful atmosphere made it easy to unwind, and the setting couldn't have been more picturesque.There was something for everyone here! The included water toys—kayaks, canoe, paddleboat, and paddle boards—made for endless fun on the lake. On land, we enjoyed games, a foosball table, an aray of provided board games and plenty of space to relax and play. Even our dog had a blast—the property is super pet-friendly and welcoming for furry family members, which made the experience even more special.A huge shoutout to Shane, the property manager, who was incredibly friendly, responsive, and made sure our stay was seamless from start to finish. You can tell this place is managed with real care and attention to detail.Whether you're looking for outdoor adventure or a peaceful lakeside retreat, this cabin delivers on every level. Can’t recommend it highly enough!

Amazing Valentines Trip

Me and my girlfriend booked with Hunter and he was honestly the best host i’ve ever had at any cabin. He was very helpful and made sure we were well taken care of. The cabin was beautiful and was amazing not only for my partner but my beautiful furbaby as well. We will make sure to hook again and we think other should too!!

Secluded getaway

My husband I booked for one night for a birthday getaway. It was exactly what we needed. The cabin is very quaint and relaxing. The views from the back deck were amazing, especially the sunrise! We had a wonderful time and will definitely rebook in the future.

This house is NOT ready to be rented. We arrived to find several massive Amazon boxes blocking the stairs inside the home. We didn’t order them, yet the property manager told us to “just move them.” A 4-inch wooden splinter was hanging off the outdoor stairs, which could have seriously injured someone. Within hours of being there, the sliding glass door handle fell off and injured my foot. It wasn’t fixed until day SIX of our stay. Total lack of cleanliness. There were dead roaches and large water bugs throughout the home. The floors were so dirty our bare feet were black. Every dish and pan was either crusted with grime or covered in stains, the dishwasher was stained with mold & the garbage disposal didn’t work. The entire house felt like it hadn’t been cleaned in months, and smelled of mildew. The refrigerator never got cold, even after multiple reports to the manager. It stayed stuck at level 1 out of 9, ruining groceries. The ice maker didn’t work either so we were on the beach, on a limited island, with no cold drinks. There was also no propane for the grill, which was supposed to be included. When we asked, they told us to go to another property to get a tank ourselves. This property lacked many basic amenities. The washing machine was also broken. Yet you are expected to wash the towels before you leave. You’re responsible for the cleaning, but cant even do it properly because the appliances dont work. One of the bedroom doors doesnt close. Many better options on NCI.

4 Day Honeymoonaversary

The cabin is exactly as the pictures show it, it was quiet and clean and cozy. The view was incredible and even with it raining every day we were still able to enjoy the hot tub, play pool, and watch a star wars marathon on TV. We arealready planning a stay for next year!
