Charming lake cabin

I love this place! It's been beautifully remodeled and is very comfortable. I would love to visit when it's warmer, but it's very cozy in the snow. I can't wait to come back with my kids.

Peaceful lakeside retreat

Cute property tucked away in a quiet neighborhood. Had the feel of a remote, rural cabin but super close to town and amenities. Check out the neighborhood general store across the street for coffee and breakfast. The couple that own and run it were super helpful.

Perfect Little Cabin

Such a cozy cabin for a perfect weekend stay with friends. Located close to multiple ski spots around the area, coming back to the cabin after to relax with hot cocoa and a fire going on. Right down the street is a shop that sells delicious sandwiches too. Owners of the property were super nice and quick to respond with any questions we had. Hoping to come back soon and check this place out during the summer time to enjoy the lake life!

Can’t wait to go back!

We had a wonderful time spending our 1 year wedding anniversary here! It was so peaceful & relaxing. We enjoyed watching the ducks and geese in the lake & using the kayaks. The shop down the road is a 2 minute walk and so convenient. We look forward to staying here again in the future!

Great lakehouse for a family stay!

We loved the layout and space in the house. Kayaks on the property made it so easy to take advantage of being right on the lake. Owner responded timely to all questions prior to check-in. A place to come back to.

Relaxing weekend at the lake

My husband and I had a very peaceful and relaxing long weekend at this lake house! It was very clean and has everything you need. We spent the majority of our time on the wonderful screened-in porch. The location was great and there was a little store/restaurant only a couple minutes walk up the street that was convenient and the food was really good! Overall, a great place to stay!

Relaxing Stay on the Lake

A relaxing Easter weekend with family.

Thank you, Justin, for sharing your beautiful home with my family. We had a very nice time and relaxed in the beautiful quiet surroundings. I was so excited when I saw some Norwex items as I am a consultant and also use Norwex in my home. We hope to visit again in the warmer months as it was a perfect memory for our family. Thanks again, The Short family

Exactly what we all needed

This little cabin is so inviting, and the scenery is beautiful. It was the perfect getaway for our friends and family to relax and play games away from the real world for a while. Would have loved to kayak but March is very unpredictable. Thanks for the stay we’d definitely come back again!

Relaxing and wonderful

A short stay but just what we needed. Once we parked, the car didn’t start again til we were leaving. We enjoyed watching the geese, ducks and birds and the real treat was watching the otters swim back and forth. The house is super cute and comfortable. Short walk to Sherwood Shoppe where we ate most meals. The pizza and salad were great and the owners were friendly and helpful.

Perfect Lake Getaway

I rented the cabin for my birthday and it was exactly what I wanted!! The cabin was well outfitted with towels, sheets, utensils, glassware, dish ware, and pots/pans. It had plenty of space for 6 adults and the kayaks and other attractions were in wonderful condition! We also loved the Shoppe that was a 1 minute walk from the property. It had a delicious breakfast and was filled with some last-minute groceries when we needed a few things. Overall, a terrific trip!!

Everything we needed

The house was clean and cozy. The kitchen was well stocked, especially important as we like to cook at home. Justin was responsive when I contacted him with questions. Love that the house was dog friendly with a fenced in back yard. The house has been updated inside but the deck needs some TLC, which I am sure are in the plans. A perfect get away!

Good for humans, a little less so for dogs

The place is nice and functional, with a pleasant yard and screened porch. Justin was a good host, responsive and accommodating our early arrival. The biggest negative for us was the policy of dogs not being allowed on furniture which wasn't highlighted anywhere on the posting, though the property is labeled as pet-friendly. Our pups are well-groomed and we cover couches when we travel. Trying to keep them off added a fair bit of stress, especially with the 11-year old one who is very fond of couch naps. Other than that, the property is exactly like what you'd imagine from the posting. The area is nice and scenic, perfect for a getaway.

Wonderful

The home was clean, uncluttered and comfortable. The location was very convenient. Walking distance to the local restaurant for breakfast or lunch. Great little place with homemade cooking. Weather was cool, so didn't get to try kayaks or rowboat. Water is very shallow around dock so swimming would not be good. Two minute walk to beach. Yard is large and partially fenced for dogs, which is nice that they allow pets( left my 3 monsters at home!).Kitchen could be stocked a little better, so make sure you bring anything special you might need for cooking,spices ect. The owners were lovely to work with. You can tell they care about their home and rental customers. Thank you for sharing with us for our quick fall getaway!
