We stayed for a week with our two dogs. Although the weather wasn't the best we had a wonderful stay! The cabin was very clean and welcoming. We used the propane firepit on the deck most nights (when it wasn't raining). The cabin does look weathered from the outside, but it was perfect inside. I saw several reviews about an ant problem, I didn't see one the whole week. We would love to come back in the summer and be able to enjoy the lake!
