Great snowy stay!
Had a great time at the cabin! Was very well situated and lots of room for 4 adults. One room has a large bed and a bunk bed and the other has a queen size bed with an ensuite. Cooking with the hot plates and the tabletop oven went well and it was nice to have a small dishwasher too. Would love to return in summer when we can enjoy the lake!

Lake escape
We spend 3 days in this beautiful cozy house on the lake and we just LOVED it! The house was perfect size, crispy clean and cute decorated. We made a delicious dinner on the fancy BBQ and enjoyed the fire. It was great that we could use all the kayaks, paddling boards and had fun on the water. Thank you and we will be back!!!!
