We generally enjoyed our stay. We had to purchase a bedspread for the Murphy bed and there was a little cleaning issue but it's a beautiful property and location.

Great tiny cabin for a lake weekend

Great tiny cabin within a few minute drive to the lake. Well appointed, modern, and clean. We enjoyed the covered back porch on the pond - perfect for evening cookouts. Check in and out was a breeze. Highly recommend and will definitely stay here again

A great long weekend

The place is exactly as listed and the owners were very responsive to any question or need we had on the trip. It was very clean, organized, and had all the essentials things that we needed. The cabin is very close to several great hiking areas as well as a few grocery shops and multiple restaurants. We loved staying in this cabin and we will definitely come back again.

Weekend Getaway

My children and I needed to get away and spend some time together. Ages 15, 14 and two 7 year olds and all had a wonderful time. We spent time paddle boarding and enjoying the peaceful view, we hiked to some waterfalls and napped. It was a lovely weekend and the cabin was beautiful, the kids begged to stay here again!

Perfect cabin!

The area is beautiful, nice pond, secluded, relaxing, peaceful. The cabin was awesome! So very clean! Had everything you could possibly need. Top quality towels, sheets, bed, kitchen tools, very well thought out. I can think of nothing that could be better. Very comfortable for me, my husband and our dog.

Great getaway

This was a great little getaway for my husband, me and our doggos. It was a little drive to get anywhere but we knew that going in. The cabin is on a pond with a couple of other cabins. It was sufficiently private but made it seem not so lonely and out there at night - which is a good thing. We would definitely rent there again if headed that way.
