My friend and I deer hunt in the area. The cabin was nice and we both felt it was pretty well furnished. Worked good for the two of us and we would wouldnt mind if we could be pencilled in for next year. The only reason we might not stay there is if there would be 3 of us nest year. Great place on the lake. ##### Mark S. Stayed 5 nights in Nov 2024 ### 10/10 Excellent #### Stein H. 25 Jun 2024 Liked: Cleanliness, check-in, communication, location, listing accuracy #### McDonald Lake cabin The cabin was very comfortable for our group of four adults. The property had a very nice beach and the lake water was clear and good for swimming. We enjoyed having a functioning grill and lawn furniture. The site was very conveniently located close to several small towns, that had stores and restaurants. We would consider renting this cabin again in the future. ##### Stein H. Stayed 11 nights in Jun 2024 ### 8/10 Good #### Patty B. 30 Oct 2024 Liked: Cleanliness, check-in, communication, location, listing accuracy #### Cozy updated Lake Cabin We so enjoyed our 3 night stay! The cabin is well appointed in so many ways. Comfortable beds and living room furniture, very nice kitchen. So nice to have the lake shore right out the window. Lots of interesting sights to see (don't miss Maplewood State Park in the fall!) Great shopping and novel eating spots. We were grateful to our host for responding quickly to our questions. We will return. ##### Patty B. Stayed 3 nights in Oct 2024 ---
