Great cabin!

We stayed here with some family members as we were in the area for a wedding. The cabin was great, had many amenities. The lake was perfect-calm, clean, and the boys had fun fishing. Would definitely book again if we decide to stay on that area again!

Great place!

What a great place! We had a birthday weekend with our adult children fishing for my husbands birthday. Perfect size house, a lot of kitchen supplies, and the perfect spot on the lake for fishing! We will definitely rent again!

Beautiful in the fall!

I came here with my three children (5, 3 and an infant) and we loved every minute of our stay. The day before we came a friend had told me that this part of the lake has experienced flooding over the last several years, so I was nervous what we would be walking into. I was pleasantly surprised! You can really tell the owners have put effort into making this a beautiful and welcoming lake home. The views of the fall trees across the lake were spectacular. Highly recommend and I would definitely come back.
