It was exactly what we were looking for and accurately presented on the VRBO site. It was great, even including the ladder up to the loft for bed each night. Extremely good host and good location. We really enjoyed our stay. ##### Tom B. Stayed 4 nights in Sep 2024 From a partner site ### 8/10 Good #### Richard S. 2 Oct 2023 #### Lena’s CanI. Very pretty and peaceful place. Well stocked.

Stayed 3 nights in Jul 2023 From a partner site ### 8/10 Good #### Mario S. 19 Aug 2024 #### Quaint and cozy I was greeted by the Owner Mark and he was so welcoming and gracious. Showed me around and it was a nice first impression. The cabin was nice with all the comforts. The lake was beautiful and although it was more of an active lake with all its sounds, it quieted down greatly at night. I would certainly come back and chill out again. ##### Mario S. Stayed 3 nights in Aug 2024 From a partner site ### 10/10 Excellent #### Diane N. 16 Aug 2024 #### Pleasantly surprised Was not expecting it to be so clean or have a Keurig. Owner was so accommodating. There were plenty of linens. While there is no AC we were not hot, even in the loft. Although it was hot during the day it cools enough at night with the fans/window to sleep comfortably. If I had to find a downside, I would say the love seat that opens was too uncomfortable for a large adult so bring an air mattress. We loved having the lake to fish or swim and how clean it was! Would certainly stay there again. ##### Diane N. Stayed 2 nights in Aug 2024 From a partner site ### 10/10 Excellent #### Jake F. 17 Aug 2024 #### Great, quiet spot on the lake!

Thank you! ##### Stephen S. From a partner site ### 10/10 Excellent #### Ashleigh C. 12 Jul 2023 #### Perfect Cozy Lakeside Cabin This is such a hidden gem! This adorable cabin had everything we needed - and we were greeted with fresh flowers and whoopie pies when we arrived which was such a pleasant surprise! The kids and our dog especially enjoyed swimming at the beach right in front of the cabin. We would definitely love to come back! ##### Ashleigh C. Verified ### 8/10 Good #### Beth H. 9 Jun 2025 Liked: Cleanliness, check-in, communication, location, listing accuracy Very sweet cottage steps from the lake. We were greeted with fresh wildflowers and local pastries! The screened-in porch is such a bonus! Communication was excellent. Be aware that the steps to the loft bedroom are quite steep and definitely not suited for children. ##### Beth H. Stayed 3 nights in Jun 2025 Verified ### 8/10 Good #### NATE A. 26 Sept 2022 Liked: Cleanliness, check-in, location, listing accuracy #### Sensational Stay at Lena’s Cabin This property was the perfect oasis on a trip myself and some friends were not necessarily excited for at first. The Adirondack chairs by the lakeshore and the fire pit were perfect to help unwind after long and difficult days. I will say, it did appear that the hot water had some issues, but other than that we had an incredible stay. Other than hot water, the property was perfect. I would love to book this property again. ##### NATE A. Stayed 2 nights in Sep 2022 Verified ### 10/10 Excellent #### Wesley W. 17 Oct 2022 Liked: Cleanliness, check-in, communication, location, listing accuracy #### Charming solitude Lovely cabin, well equipped, on a quaint lake front. We really enjoyed this tiny gem. The loft bed is very comfy, but not suited for anyone who would have an issue climbing a ladder to get there. The owners thoughtful touches, fresh flowers and local treats, made for a welcoming arrival. We will be back. ##### Wesley W.
