The area where the lake cabin is located felt very safe and well maintained. We saw a lot of wildlife in the area. The lake cabin allowed a grandparent, a parent, two sons their wives, and all of the grandchildren (5 under 4 years old) to visit with plenty of space, privacy and a fabulous kitchen area. The cabin decks and dock are amazing. We ran out of time to do all of the things we wanted to do so we will definitely plan on returning.

Plenty of room, for 10 ladies. Nice furnishings. Rained alot but had space on upper and lower deck to still enjoy the scenery. Nice neighbor allowed us to use his stairs which made getting to the water easier. Kayaks were in good shape and a few of.our group enjoyed the lake.Great place to unwind
