House was very clean and taken care of. A beautiful destination right across the street from lake access. Went down with a group and had an excellent stay!
Wonderful location with easy access to the lake. My daughter and I enjoyed cooking together in the cabin’s wonderful kitchen. Lots of board games to play and comfortable furniture to relax in while sitting in front of the fireplace. The sauna and large bathtub were nice to warm up in after a chilly walk to the lake. We did wish there was a tv in the living room to watch a movie together, but it didn’t take away from the enjoyment of our stay.
We had a wonderful stay in the snow! The barn is well-appointed and comfy. Loved the sauna on those chilly evenings after a long day sledding at the nearby sno-park! The house has a bunch of games, instruments, and warm tea … perfect for family time when the snow is really falling! 10 out of 10!

It’s a beautiful and spacious house, and even it’s not exactly “lakefront,” it’s a very nice location. We were surprised the hosts live so close, but it was fine for a two-day stay, and a good thing, as we didn’t have enough towels or toilet paper (good thing we had some in the car!).
Great family gathering fun overall! Space was a little misleading when you pulled up. The pictures gave me the impression that you had the whole space but in actuality we were only able to occupy the garage space that had been converted into a the living space. The space was pretty cool with a nice kitchen, the downside was it was not the cleanest.
