Great location and satisfying accommodations

Perfect for our 4 day/3 night summer getaway. Cabin included so much to enjoy our stay. The AC worked terrific and the dock was connected directly to the deck making super easy access to swim, fish and kayak. We loved the large deck, bbq grill & fire pit as well.

We LOVE this place! It’s relaxing & comfotable…and there’s something magical about the deck…I can sit out there for hours. There are beautiful sunrise views, fishing on the dock is so handy, and people in town are so nice. I wish there was a ladder so we could swim here but the town beach is nice.

Reunion

Needed a place to stay for a reunion in the area. Perfect location for this, especially since we were at the Pavilion in Barrett one of the days. That was within walking distance. Awesome views of the lake from the porch and living room, the last night especially! Sheets, towels, paper towels, toilet paper, laundry detergent etc all available at property.

Nice Little Lake House

Location was great. We fished right off the dock all hours of the day and night. Had a nice sized deck to relax and bbq dinner on. Small town was friendly and the restaurant we ate at was surprisingly good.

Hello!

My name is Marnie. I'm the mother of 12 year old twins. I spent 20 years in the financial industry; most recently working as Vice President of Marketing, Communications and Business Development.

Currently, I focus a majority of my attention on helping women find stability through sober, safe and secure housing. Once they have that, they can start building their broken relationships; most importantly with their children. ❤️

I’ve always loved traveling to new areas and wanted an opportunity to share my Barrett cabin with others.

I hope you enjoy it as much as we do!
