Big Lake Cabin with Hot Tub/ Kayaks/ Ping Pong/ Cable
The "Sunshine Cabin" enjoys ample natural sun year around from its lofty position up in the trees. The large picture window overlooking Big Lake provides a birds eye view of both the canopy and lake. This 81’ deep lake has an island and home to many types of fish that's why we brought fishing/recreational kayaks for our guests. The boat launch access is just 1.6 miles from the sunshine cabin. The cabin is secluded on 1.45 acres of trees. This listing is all about the experience.

The place was very clean and nicely decorated for the holidays. Loved the hot tub and ping pong table. The place was well stocked and the coffee, tea, and cocoa bar was a nice touch.
The property is very beautiful, the inside of the cabin was very clean and cozy. I would recommend to anyone and i can see myself coming back in the future. Excellent stay 10/10
Me and my boyfriend stayed with our 2 dogs and had a great experience. The cabin was very clean. Since it’s winter we loved that the hot tub was inside. Overall very nice and we would stay again.
Big Lake Cabin was perfect. It was adorable, clean and had everything we could ever need. Such a great place to stay while visiting friends on the lake. We would highly recommend!
This was one of the cleanest and nicest cabins that we have stayed in. The host was very friendly and responsive and answered all of our questions within minutes of messaging. We will definitely be back.
Lovely treehouse experience, peaceful, and autumn colors! We were quite impressed that the owners checked in with us a couple times during our stay. Very helpful and very prompt in replying to text. Overall wonderful stay!
My family of five (kids 12, 10, and 7) had a great time here. We didn't have much snow. But we were more than happy playing ping pong and enjoying the hot tub. They especially liked the hot cocoa bar. Everything was as shown in the photos and well kept. Very satisfied.
My wife and I and our 2 dogs had a great time at this splendid property. The ownership was extremely helpful and quick to respond to any questions. The property is well stocked with most anything you would need and then some. Amongst the trees, the natural views are impressive. On a nightly basis, we had barred owls calling all around us, and you could hear the loons on the lake in the morning. The beds are very comfortable. This is truly a great place to step away for a few days or a week. Will be back.
The cabin was very clean and close to the lake. It was very close to the shopping in Gaylord, yet you felt you were more in the country. The cabin had a very nice garage area that they made into a recreational area which my family loved the ping pong table and the hot tub!! They also had kayaks available. They even had beds for our fur babies!! They had an adorable Coffee bar that had flavored syrups. They had many nice extras you normally do not see in a cabin rental. I would highly recommend this cabin to friends and family.
I would give this a excellent rating. It was super clean, and well decorated. It was very organized. The hot tub was very clean, and the area it was in was very well heated.
Each room hss a separate thermostat so you can control each room to your comfort level. Plenty of towels, plus there was coffee, and a cocoa bar. It was decorated for the holiday. It was very peaceful and quiet, but I didn't feel.secluded. Beds were very comfortable. Plenty of parking. Plow came in a very timely manner to plow and shovel the snow that had fallen. I would highly recommend this place. It was within 5 miles to two ski resorts plus Gaylord.
Kitchen was stocked well along with the bathroom. The property was clean and communication was great with the property owner. The home is located close to town but still far enough away to be quiet and private.
Beautiful home very close to downtown with a ton of great shopping and eating! This was a perfect getaway for my husband and I to relax after the wedding!Beautiful dark skies allowed us to spend hours looking up :) highly recommend and can’t wait to come back!
Everything as described, appreciated that it was clean and everything we needed to use the kitchen was provided. The indoor hot tub was nice since it was in the fall and cold and rainy outside.
We loved our stay. Our dog felt really comfortable and happy too. It was very clean. The host made for a great stay too! We loved the hot tub and fire pit. Beautiful views and very clean. We will be back!!
The property was once again a beautiful, relaxing stay. Since our last stop, the owner made some upgrades to the fire ring, which made it even better. We'll be back.
We really enjoyed our stay at this clean and comfortable home in the woods. The hosts did a great job ensuring we had a nice visit to the Gaylord area. We look forward to returning!
Enjoyed the place. Unfortunately the hot tub broke after one use. The host replied quickly, a repair was attempted the next day. I understand things happen, and I appreciate the host’s response. Would recommend this place or host.
This is a beautiful home on beautiful property overlooking a lake. The owners have a hot tub in the garage which is decorated like its own little oasis. There is an outdoor fire pit. Fishing kayaks for use. The home itself is very welcoming. We went in September and the home was nicely decorated with fall items. It was just a lovely place to stay. If you have any questions or concerns the owners are very responsive. We really enjoyed our stay here near some beautiful trails to hike with our dogs.
