Awesome spot for a week with family of all ages

Great beach, great dock fishing, secluded bay and more space than you'll know what to do with outside. The inside of the house is just as advertised in photos as well and is very well taken care of.

This property is amazing. Rain or shine there is something for everyone to do inside or outside. The owners are super nice and responsive. They provide all the amenities you need for the stay. Great beach area, boating,fishing and swimming the best. The firepit area is awesome, a great place for friends and family to unwind from the day and roast marshmallows or make smores! Yum!

40th Birthday snowmobile trip

The house was a fantastic place for our group to stay! Everything was clean and just as described. The location was a perfect spot to get on to the snowmobile trails and the driveway was big enough to accommodate the 3 trailers and trucks that we had. We can't wait to go back!

Beautiful, secluded location

We had a wonderful time here and plan to visit again. The fishing in the bay was excellent and the close proximity to the trails worked wonderfully for us. There was plenty of room for our family of seven and everyone had more than enough to do to keep them happy! One piece of advice- don't be nervous about the seemingly long road in, you will get there 😊
