This is our 4th time our family has visited this cabin. We love it so much and have made it a summer tradition. The cabin itself is perfect. Lots of sleeping options and everything you need to feel like home. The outdoor space cannot be beat. Large relaxing back patio, beautiful yard, and the beach! Spent every day in the water and every night around a fire.

Lakeside cabin stay

The cabin was incredibly peaceful. My parents and I had such a good time relaxing, enjoying swimming in the water, and cooking outside with a great view. The nights were peaceful and the skylight windows were a cozy touch. The cabin could use more attention to its cleanliness, as we had to wash various plates and the shower was a bit stained and dirty as was the furniture in the living room with cobwebs. Overall though, it was a great location to stay with great views and neighborhood.

Relaxing Family Vacation Spot

This property was ideal for our family vacation with 4 adults, 2 kids and 2 dogs. It was very relaxing, we were able to sit on the deck and watch the grandkids enjoy the beach. The propery owners went above and beyond to accommodate our grandkids love of swimming when they where having work done to the beach area. We made it home and we are already planning a return trip in the fall.

Family Trip

The stay was Great. Host was Great. Would be a perfect spot when weather is warmer to enjoy the lake. The only thing that would have been good is a little table or card table to be able to play games inside, could not find a light to play on outside table. Would definitely stay again. Thank you

the yard, beach and water area were great, the indoor area was hot, the air conditioner could not keep up with the sun heat coming in through the sky lights, very lucky we had good weather and did not have to plan indoor activities

What a gem!

Our experience on Messick Lake was outstanding! Deirdre was such an accommodating host and the cabin was lovely with plenty of amenities and the best view ever. My family, (including the dog,) had a wonderful time, there was something for everyone! We would love to rent this lake house again in the future :)

Wonderful Lake Vacation

Cozy cabin on an amazing no wake lake. Cabin has everything you could possibly need. Stayed very cool inside during our HOT weekend, but we spent most of the time outside anyways because the private beach is amazing!!! Perfectly sandy and the perfect depth for adults, kids, and pets. Deidre and Charlie were amazing and so helpful. Especially when we accidently locked ourselves out! Charlie ran a spare key over asap. Our only regret is that we didn't stay longer. This place will now be a family tradition to visit yearly.
