I am reluctant to tell everyone how lovely this cabin is for fear that we will never be able to stay there again. The siting is incomparable, jutting out from a small point with water on three sides. Pictures have graced postcards, travel posters, and even the short video at the Outdoor Heritage Museum featured a glimpse of the cabin in the first five seconds. They literally cannot build them like this anymore. That said, you will hardly be roughing it, as it comes equipped with dishwasher, microwave, TV, DVD player, centrally controlled heat, fireplace, wifi. Similarly, there are many excellent updates, new windows, new doors, a bug-free screened porch with glass sliders in case the wind or rain intrude. But these don't alter the rustic character of the cabin, they just make it feel well-loved and livable. Why not five stars? Well, not everyone will appreciate the feng shui of the center of the cabin. One has to walk through a bedroom +/- bathroom to get from the spacious kitchen to the lovely living room and screened porch. This is easy to put up with but might cause some awkwardness among unrelated guests. The loft space is quite comfortable, though predictably requires the use of the multiple fans supplied during the warmest nights. An unexpected plus was being able to put in kayaks and/or swim a few steps from the screen porch. Due to their being no windows on the backside of the cabin, there was no "fishbowl" feeling and we felt like we had the lake to ourselves. One can unload behind the cabin but parking is a short walk -- more of a pleasure than a hardship really.
