We had a lovely stay here. This is a small but comfortable cabin. It has comfortable furnishings and an efficient kitchen for prepping meals. It has a spacious back yard with a grill and plenty of patio furniture. We loved the outdoor shower! Front porch has a beautiful view with chairs. Our favorite part of this property was the dock and canoes! We spent hours on the lake It was very peaceful and serene. If you are looking for a getaway from a busy life, this is a great escape without a hefty price tag. We will definitely be returning!

Upon arrival was ecstatic with the way the property looked from the outside! It only got better as we entered the home. Clean, up to date, roomy and comfortable!
We took a walk over to the pond and the only statement made was "WOW!". We had a great time using the all of the water toys and even took a dip in the pond. Spent plenty of time just relaxing there and enjoying the serenity.
This home is incredible! I look forward to telling others about it! Our host was also exceptionally graceful as he contacted us to let us know where everything was and that we could check in early if we arrived ahead of schedule.
Oh, and I cant forget about the super cool and handy outside bath!
I want to say thanks for an incredible stay and opportunity to provide my Son and his 2 friends an incredible experience and memories they will cherish!

From the Owner: "Dear Jennifer,
So happy you enjoyed your stay and had a chance to spend time on the dock! The dock is our special go-to place! Hope you come again!"
This is a lovely, clean and comfortable property. Everything we could possibly need- from can opener to canoe was provided. The private dock was the perfect spot to see baby loons paddle by. The “pond” was bigger than we expected and so quiet. The hosts deserve a huge “well done” for what they have created. We can’t wait to return!
