We enjoyed our summer weekend getaway by the lake. The cabin is set near the most beautiful lake, has a huge deck overlooking the lake, but the cabin itself is rather small.
Pros: Beautiful, private lake all to yourself. Nice picnic area on the other side, great fishing and boating. Huge deck overlooking the lake. Outdoor grill is fairly new. Nice fire pit area near the lake. The cabin feels secluded, but is actually very close to the town in case you need supplies. It was a clean property, well maintained. Internet was fast and TV had all the channels one would want.
Cons: The cabin is very small. The deck is probably larger than the cabin itself. Kitchen appliances are definitely compact-sized, was challenging to cook anything. I assume one can sleep 6 there, but it would be a tight fit for sure. We were lucky to have very nice weather as we would have not enjoyed being stuck inside. Also, both propane tanks provided were at least 75% used, barely made it work.

Thank you for your detailed feedback! We’re glad you enjoyed the lake, the deck, and the other outdoor amenities during your stay.
Regarding the cabin size, we make sure to provide clear descriptions, including square footage, bed sizes, and photos, so guests know what to expect before booking. The kitchen appliances are shown in these photos, and our guests have always found them suitable for preparing meals, even for holidays.
As for the propane tanks, we keep two on-site: one hooked up to the grill and a full spare. We always replace empty tanks before new guests arrive. If there was an issue, we would have responded immediately if contacted, but it’s good to hear the tanks worked for you.
We strive to accommodate special requests and were happy to accommodate your special requests for both an early check-in and a late check-out. We appreciate your feedback and will use it to continue enhancing our guests' experience.
We had a great time at the cabin. My husband and I stayed for 5 days. We didnt leave the property and didnt see a single person the whole time. The view is amazing and the property had plenty to do with the water and all the wooded trails. The only negative is the biggest bed at the cabin is a full size bed. If that doesnt bother you I would definitely book this cabin if you want aome peace and quiet.

We loved this property! But the drive in was difficult on a motorcycle because of loose gravel and narrow lanes. Also, we could not carry firewood on the bike back to the cabin and wished there was firewood available at the cabin to use. Otherwise, the property is perfect for a relaxing weekend getaway. Highly recommend!

From the Owner: "Hi Tonia, thank you for the great review! There is firewood available for sale on the property, at the woodshed near the beginning of the gravel lane to the cabin (it would not be practical to keep firewood at the cabin itself), and we ask guests to buy their firewood from us, or locally, to protect our forests from invasive species that can be transported with wood over long distances."
This was my husband and I second trip to the cabin. We already have plans to return in the near future. It is the best place for some quiet relaxation!!
