The house was just as pictured. Very clean and neat with a well equipped kitchen! Great location, very short walk to the water and the addition of the access to kayaks was convenient. Definitely recommend!
The location is perfect, very quiet. It is an older house but well kept, the kitchen has all you need to cook a meal. We loved the fire pit outside, and appreciated the fish cleaning station by the lake. The only downside is that second bathroom was in the basement and since we were two couples there were multiple trips downstairs, but it's minor. The host is very friendly and ready to help you. We had a wonderful time

Reviewer Comments:
Home as more than described ! Would come back again.
This was a perfect boys weekend getaway. Took my son, his best friend and his dad up here to do some fishing. We caught salmon on the big lake, fished Hamlin lake for some perch, and caught a ton of bluegill of the dock at the cabin. The place was clean and had all the outdoor amenities you could want. It was nice to see the boys spend every moment outside fishing, climbing trees, and playing by the dock. Will definitely be back!
