We really enjoyed our time at the cabin! It was clean, had all the amenities we needed, furniture was great and the view was beautiful! We are coming back in July!
we had a lovely stay at this lakefront cottage. It was clean, spacious, and had everything we needed. We enjoyed 3 days at Thanksgiving...what a lovely, serene place.
We had an amazing week at this property! It is very clean and has pretty much everything you need. Location is on a quiet road in a quiet bay on the lake. Caught lots if fish right from the docks.
Second time we stayed here and it's a wonderful lake getaway! Place is in a great location and very clean! Jeff was very easy to deal with and very responsive!

This is the 3rd summer we have stayed at this quaint, clean,well equipped lakefront cottage and we want to keep coming back!! Can't beat the views and the kayaks are an added bonus! The owner is very responsive and the check in and check out process is easy. Highly recommend!!
We enjoyed everything about this property and location. It something for everyone to enjoy— fishing, swimming, floating, walking and good restaurants with just a short drive into town. Our host was very communicative and friendly. Very convenient checkin and check out. We brought our family dog who loved the water and laying on the dock. Our family has enjoyed making memories at this perfect getaway on the lake!
The owners have everything needed for your stay. The cabin has tv and wi-fi and a washer and dryer. All very nice things to have with kids. It was wonderful bringing our dogs along on our vacation. The cabin was very clean and cozy. The swing was my favorite place to drink my coffee. Great Lake for fishing and kayaking.
We had rain and gray skies the whole time, so we spent our time in the cabin. Pretty much every VRBO we’ve ever stayed in (which is a lot) had that grimy, nobody’s been here feeling but not this cabin. It lived up to all the reviews about cleanliness and well stocked. It’s CLEAN and comfy! We didn’t really mind being stuck inside so much. We did enjoy the fire pit one day. I wish we could have used it more. There are a TON of DVDs available to watch and having Netflix, Hulu, Max etc available was great too. The new oven was much appreciated too. Thanks for sharing your cabin!!!
We had an amazing, relaxing stay at this cozy and comfortable lakeside cabin. Beautiful location. Well equipped, very clean, excellent communication, easy check-in. We used the row boat, kayaks, fished from the pier, floated in the lake, and thoroughly enjoyed a week away to relax and unplug.
