Pleasantly surprised

The cottage was exactly as described in the listing. Very clean and comfy. Easy check in. Any questions we had were answered right away. The bear decor was so cute. There is a bakery/pizzeria literally 300 steps down the road that has incredible food. Would like to come again when we can stay longer!

Great cabin but no walking to the lake to fish as it’s all private !

Host Pam is absolutely amazing . She goes above and beyond to make your stay amazing . FYI says 2 min walk to the lake but want you to know that’s not a usable point at the lake as it’s all private on that side of the lake

Lazy Bear takes the cake!

Great location for time on trails and lakes! The covering of trees kept us cool on hot summer days. Ample parking for trailers. The neighborhood was peaceful. A delicious pizzeria and bakery was just 2 blocks away, The cabin and outdoor patio was spacious, comfortable and accommodating. And the bonus building was perfect for our grown daughter's family with little ones. Highly recommend this lovely place!
