Lovely Lake
We absolutely loved the space inside and out, and had an amazing time taking the trail down to the lake. The cabin is so clean and well stocked with cook ware and dishes!

Relaxing property on a small lake
Very well crafted and furnished cabin in secluded and quiet woodlands, enjoyed the boats and views. Highly recommend!
Enjoyed the absolute quiet, hiking trail, pond and kayaks. No calling/texting connection; could email with wifi. Experienced power outage, which came on end of day except wifi remained out.
First few hours were good, then no water! It's hard to take a shower or even wash hands! If I knew about it I would definitely go somewhere else.

Hi Tahani, we passed your comments on to the homeowner who would like to share the following: We do our very best to uphold high standards of hospitality for our property and provide all of our guests with an exceptional experience.
- As we value the condition of our home, we're truly sorry that there was a water pump malfunction that impacted your stay. The cause of it was completely out of our control, but immediately reached out to a local specialist to make the necessary repairs and unfortunately, they were unable to get there in time before you left. Since then, we had the pump replaced.
- In recognizing the concern, we contacted our local Guest Contact to check in with you and they brought extra water for you. As a result of the issue, we approved a partial refund to compensate for the inconvenience.
Guest satisfaction is important to us and we strive to provide a comfortable and enjoyable stay. We do all we can to make our home the best possible experience, and we look forward to this property hosting many satisfied guests.

Rustic cabin
Cabin is rustic, steep steps to loft which contains the beds and raw wood roofing. (cannot stand in the loft). Also, water from faucets is for showering and doing dishes only, you must use the dispenser water for drinking and cooking. Had a problem with septic and draining just before leaving but owner came to fix issue when notified. Lastly, the cabin is up the hill (owners cabin at bottom of hill at lakeside), but you have access to the lake, canoes, kayaks, etc.
