10/10 Excellent
"These cute cabins were perfect for our group. We had 6 adults and 3 under 3. The shallow water out 50 yards from shore is perfect for littles to get comfortable in the water! We really appreciated the extra chairs for sitting around the campfire or on the dock. We also appreciated the firewood! We caught some nice fish just off shore where the water got deeper. It was great to have access to the canoe and row boat. Our kids said it was the best fish fry ever!"

Vintage log cabin with fantastic views of Bowstring Lake

10/10 Excellent
"We have been staying at VRBOs for 30 years and this experience rates as one of the best. The hosts have done an excellent job updating and making this place shine. First off, the cabin is spotless upon your arrival. Very well stocked with kitchen supplies & plenty of quality bathroom towels & supplies. The beds and furniture are quite comfortable. It was on the hot side while we were there but with plenty of excellent windows open we never had to turn on the air as the breeze off the lake was perfect. Obviously, this is not a large cabin. However, it never feels cramped inside. WIFI signal is strong and many channels available for TV viewing.Finally, Steve is a top tier host. Extremely responsive and communicative while fully respecting your privacy. We highly recommend this rental!"

10/10 Excellent
"We do a family vacation every year, and this cabin fit all our needs. It was located on a quiet bay with bald eagles flying right past the cabin. The cabin was well-stocked with quality supplies and high-end kitchen items. They also provided two kayaks and a paddleboard for us to use.Having the nice floating dock to tie up our boat was super convenient, and the boat landing was only a few blocks away. The fishing was great—we caught a lot of bass. The lake itself is spring-fed with clear blue water. We had a wonderful week and highly recommend this cabin for your next family vacation."
