38th Anniversary getaway
We had a wonderful and relaxing experience! Sammie, the host, respnded quickly to any questions we had. Our 2 older golden retrievers enjoyed it as well! The lake is beautiful and quiet where the cabin is located. The cabin was cozy and well stocked with amenities, the lake view was gorgeous! I wish I could post pictures!

Adorable Property and Cabin
Peaceful, pretty, tasteful combination of cabin in nature. The owners have done an excellent job of providing a stay mindful of quality, comfort, fun and necessity while respecting the true cabin experience and natural landscape of the property. There’s room to explore, roam a bit and relax with a private dock and ample yard space with enough tree coverage to feel private from neighbors who aren’t too close at all. Our pup loved the yard and pointed out all the wildlife he could find before tuckering out for naps. The cabin is sweet, nostalgic, clean and comfortable – woodsy with whimsy and functionality with fun, solid workmanship. People at nearby businesses were so friendly when we stopped for supplies and Owner, Sammie was great at communicating details ahead and assuring us he was only a call or message away if we had questions or needed anything while we were there. We didn’t; it was perfect. Thank you for a great stay!

Beautiful view
Cute cabin with gorgeous view. The bed and couch were very comfy, and it was fairly private! The lake is very nice for boating and swimming from pontoons, but not beach swimming, just as an fyi.

Nice old school cabin
Great location on the lake in a quite bay. The 2 beds were comfortable The bunk house was cozy Nice big windows in cabin and bunk house Half the window did not open all the way due to something in the way. Old school cabin feel. Wish we knew you have to park 120 feet away and carry everything down a steep hill. Driveway from the street could be a challenge with out 4 wheel drive. My family had a great time.

Spectacular view and private
We really enjoyed the view of the lake and was surprised by how private and quiet it is. The cabin was comfortable with Wi-Fi and smart TV. We loved the pit fire, bbq, kayaking around the lake for the whole week. Would be back again.
