"This cabin was clean, and completely as described, very welcoming! Communication was excellent, our host had everything we could have possibly needed for our stay. Very comfortable, quiet and peaceful with beautiful woods for walks with our dog. Wonderful local small towns to visit, that were also very welcoming. A beautiful way to spend our 42 anniversary."

Fiebing's Rustic/Remote Cabin on two Private Lakes

"Wonderful view out the large front windows to the lake and woods beyond. One of those weeks where we used both heat and a/c and both were adequate. A bedroom flooring change would put this one to the top of our list."

Cozy lakefront cabin, TONS of amenities; dog friendly; 15 mins to downtown TC

"Such a cute like place on a small body of water. We enjoyed taking the pedal boat out around the small island. Just far enough out of the city it’s a short drive into TC. although the property is close to the owners home they are extremely nice individuals and would recommend anyone who wants a peaceful experience but not too far away from the city of TC to stay here. Cozy and comfortable accommodations!"

Modern Rustic | Spider Lake | Pontoon Rentals

10/10 Excellent

"Would definitely stay here again."

Lakefront Cabin w/Hot Tub, Pontoon, & Game Room!

10/10 Excellent

"I don’t think I have anything derogatory to say about this property. It looked exactly like the listing stated and I brought my family 14 of us to this home. The only downside was that there were two king-size beds in the master bedroom and it really wasn’t conducive for our living space. But we made it work. Regardless of the bedrooms situation, the whole house was complete. Laundry areas were wonderful and needed, the kids enjoyed fishing. They caught bass right off the dock. They were so excited and made such a great memory for them.We also took part in the hot tub, which was fabulous.We were able to gather with the big kitchen table, which was wonderful as well.I would run here again now that we know what we’re in for.Also, the property manager was great. He really tried to make us feel at home and he had a boat situation but he made it all work. It really was a really nice stay. "
