The inside of cabin was cute. No usable wi-fi. No. closets. No washer/drier. No dressers. No desk. No deadbolt, cheap locks and glass exterior door. Tiny corner shower in huge room with backwards opening door at top of steps.. Hit my head every time I had to bend over to pick up soap or shampoo. Only clothing hooks located over toilet. Yuck! Shower caddy inutile. Bathroom door and bedroom doors opened outward. Bedroom door hits stove. Multiple interior steps with no railings. Platform beds too low and reading lights positioned so that they shine directly in eyes.. Site overdeveloped with cabins on top of one another and no privacy. Construction across the lake noisy. Kitchen table too large for location with flimsy chairs. Chipmunks/Squirrels in walls.

Perfect Cabin
This is the second year in a row we have stayed at this cabin on Autumn Lake. It is absolutely perfect! The location is stunning and has the back drop of the perfect fall setting. The location is exactly why we chose to stay here again this year. It is a five minute drive to the salmon river. It is so easy to get up and go fish, come home for lunch and then hit the river again in the afternoon. There is a great gas station and dollar general less than 10 minutes away for any last minute items needed. Pulaski is just a quick drive as well. The cabin is clean and well maintained. There is a full size refrigerator and freezer with all the cooking utensils and dishes needed. There are several streaming options for TV at night with a gorgeous fire place. We love this place and look forward to staying again next year!

Cozy, well-kept house on Autumn Lake with great views, easy lake access, kayaks and canoes free and easily usable for guests, and warm ambience. Perfect size for 4 adults and 1 child, with everyone able to have some quiet privacy within the house when needed. Thank you for a wonderful new family memory.

So much fun!
This place was amazing, truly a hidden gem. The owners have obviously put a lot of love into the property and the charm and design is absolutely adorable. We loved the patios and giant bathtub. The lake was clean and a really nice area and we loved taking the boats out. The cabin had everything we needed, and the Roku tv was a nice touch for rainy days. We went to nearby Salmon river falls, the beach, and to Destiny USA during our stay - all great family activities. We will definitely be back!

Great visit
Beautiful cabin situated in the woods overlooking the lake. Hanging out on the private dock, using the community beach and enjoying the private fire pit overlooking the lake was great. Whole family caught fish .5-1lb largemouth and Sunfish. The bass aren't big but they bite hard and put up a good fight especially on lite great. Kayak around this lake or through the small 50' canal to the next larger lake. Neighboring kids were swimming as the water was warm and very clear. Make sure to bring swim shoes as the weed bed is fairly high in this shallow lake (there are some deeper parts). Was very quite but didn't seem to be many folks staying when we were early in the week so felt like we had the whole place to ourselves. Communication with host was fine and pleasant. Check in easy as showing up and walking in. Had all the essentials. If looking at this location I would absolutely give it a try! Will most likely book again for green cabin or yellow cabin. Thanks

Cottage is very pretty and is exactly as pictured. Two local dogs freely roam the property; friendly, but not convenient with our leashed dog. Lake is very shallow. There are fish, but very small so that was disappointing. Every person staying there while we were there said the same. Would be much nicer if the leaves were raked out of the water at the shallow beach area-feels gross to wade in slimy leaves. Boats need a little work. Not one flat bottom boat had working oar ports; had to take one off another to have a pair. Kayaks and the canoe were nice though.

I'm very glad to hear that they property is exactly as described! We strive to make sure our listings accurate. I'm sorry you were unable to read the welcome email or description of the property. We tell you to bring water shoes. I'm happy to hear you enjoyed the boats. If a guest breaks a boat oar port we'd be happy to fix it during your stay. The lake is deeper as you go out from the shore. The picture posted of a fish was caught off the dock in our lake. I'm sure you had a great time catching what you did!

Perfect little getaway
I wanted to get away and go somewhere relaxing. This was the spot. We stayed for the week and barely saw a soul. There were plenty of offsite suggestions in the binder but most are a good drive away. The site had plenty of boats, canoes, and kayaks for everyone. The fishing is great for kids. The dogs also had a blast. The cabin was so cute and cozy. I should have read more of the description before booking, but it does not have a dish washer or washer/dryer, but we made it work. Point of the story, I would highly recommend!

Family Gathering
We visited at Christmas and were able to host some gatherings of our local family members ( about 10 people at once). There was lots of space. It's nice to have a place where we can get together with family without burdening them. Our dog also was very comfortable sitting in front of the fire.

A Cabin Out of the Movies
This cabin was absolutely amazing!! We typically stay in Oswego and make the long trip to fish the Salmon River at Ellis Cove. This cabin's location was an absolute game changer! The proximity to the river was awesome and allowed us to take a break at lunch and enjoy the cabin before going back in the late afternoon. The backdrop of fall on Autumn Lake was absolutely breathtaking. The cabin was absolutely perfect and had everything you need. The kitchen has dishes, utensils and cooking utensils, so you will have everything you need to cook dinners. The pictures in the listing are completely accurate. We felt at home and were so sad when we had to leave! We plan on booking this cabin again next year!

This place was breath taking. Very relaxing a great place for a girls trip. The cabin was so clean and just as pictured. It’s snowed the weekend we were there. It was just beautiful, nice and cozy. The soaking tub was everything! So serene with nice music wine and candles. I have recommended this place to everyone that wants to have a dream cabin getaway. I will stay again. This place is highly recommended by me.

Hidden treasure
Recently visited for a weeklong family vacation. The cabin is exactly as pictured. It had everything you needed for a great stay and to get away from the daily buzz of life. Other than the sounds of birds and fish jumping the only other thing you could hear were kids giggling at the beach. Lots of boats to use, great fishing, hand lake swimming! We had a great time and were able to connect as a family! Our dogs also enjoyed their stay and loved swimming in the lake!
