Great place - as advertised

A great, quiet location near everything you need for a quiet weekend or active weekend. Close to Longville, Backus, and Hackensack...or multiple boat launches. Plus, we had access to kayaks to explore the various portages in the area. The cabin itself was great for family time. Plenty of games (pool, ping pong, video golf), and board games made for a great time for three generations of the family. Communication was great throughout the process. We had a great experience all around.

This is a fantastic option for families. The cabin is beautiful - vaulted ceilings, exceptionally comfortable beds, ample space for larger groups. The loft was a great area for gathering, shooting pool, ping pong, etc. The kitchen had all items you would need. The deck and yard provided room to sit and play bags. Plenty of room for parking. The communication was responsive, informative and helpful. The only disadvantage is that it is not a swimming lake, although the 2 connecting lakes were very good for lifejacket swimming, floating, fishing. We had a few children 6 years and younger that wanted to swim and play in the sand. We took them to the beach in Hackensack (20 minutes away) and they enjoyed an afternoon there. Always options around for all ages. We would highly recommend this home!
