We had enough room for everyone and the decor was so warm and inviting. It made our special weekend perfect! Highly recommend ##### Dennis M. Stayed 2 nights in Apr 2025 ### 10/10 Excellent #### Benjamin G. 20 Jun 2025 Liked: Cleanliness, check-in, communication, location, listing accuracy #### Gorgeous cabin on the lake This was a perfect location for our family to meet with friends from out of town. The house has a luxurious cabin feel, and there are plenty of spaces for people to spread out and play games or talk. The kitchen is incredibly well stocked, which made it easy for us to cook up some favorite meals. The property manager was friendly and responsive to questions we had. The floors could have been cleaner when we arrived, and I'm sure they would have taken care of that if we'd contacted them about it, but we decided to deal with it ourselves. We would definitely stay here again! ##### Benjamin G. Stayed 4 nights in Jun 2025
