Beautiful cabin on the lake
We loved the house, which gave a new meaning to the word “clean!” Everything was special and so thoughtful. We enjoyed the easy access dock, the kayaks, and the lovely yard. The charming carvings and sweet garden walks are a treat. We spent a lot of time on the deck and in the hot tub. Very special!

Perfect get away
Very cozy location. My wife and I stayed for our anniversary and enjoyed our stay. The hot tub was amazing and very clean. It was the perfect place for us and we would definitely recommend it. The only thing I would change would be to have a larger shower but it served its purpose. Great place with plenty of activities for all ages.
