Large Family Cabin on Lake Sylvia -Beautiful & Clean Lake! Awesome Fishing

Private, secluded family cabin on the shores of beautiful Lake Sylvia. House sits on 4 acres and has 400 feet of lake shore. The cabin has an open concept design and beautiful views of the lake. There is a large screened in porch that faces the lake and it is wonderful to sit out at night and not have to bother with the bugs as you listen to the loons. In the great room there is a large stone two-sided gas fireplace that warms any chilly night. The deck spans the length of the house and looks out onto Lake Sylvia, perfect to grill up your favorite meal on the large Weber gas grill. There is plenty of room for family and friends with 4 large bedrooms and 3 full bathrooms. The master bedroom is located on the main level and has access to the deck and screen porch. The other three bedrooms are located on the 2nd level along with a full sized bathroom. The loft area provides great views of the lake, has a tv (with fire stick) and seating area. The main floor has a large family room (fireplace, 2 couches, tv with firestick), dining room (table that seats 8 comfortably, fireplace), kitchen (island with seating for 3, refrigerator, electric stove/oven, double sink, dishwasher, microwave, drip coffee pot, toaster, pots/pans, electric skillets, and plenty of dishes & utensils), high chair, laundry room (sink, washer & dryer), bathroom (shower, toilet & sink) and access to the attached 2 car garage.
The house sits above the lake. There is a solid, wooden staircase down to the lake with approximately 30 steps. At the bottom is a stone patio with fire pit and room for seating. There is 40 foot dock with plenty of room to tie up your boat(s). This lake is known for its great fishing (all seasons) -walleye, panfish, northern, bass.
The town of Annandale is 5 miles away. They have a large grocery store, gas stations, coffee shop, bowling alley, restaurants & cute boutique stores. Numerous golf courses within 15 minutes of property. Downhill skiing & snowboarding (Powder Ridge) within 15 minutes of property.

Perfect family reunion home!

Spacious home with great lake views! We loved the screened porch, as well as family meals and cards at the big table. The lake front was delightful, with swimming, boat rides, and teaching the dogs to swim in a lake. Thank you for sharing your home with our family, including our dogs.

Girls Weekend Away

5 friends from middle school gathered at this beautiful lakeside property for some bonding, lounging, laughing and eating!We were welcomed by the beautiful high ceiling and windows that faced the lake. All of our rooms were comfortable, cozy and we all slept like champions. We enjoyed lots of lounging time in the main room around the fireplace. We enjoyed meals around the huge dining room table and had plenty of room to gather in the kitchen as we all cooked and cleaned!We all really enjoyed spending our time together in your wonderful home on Lake Sylvia!

A relaxing getaway

This was our family’s second year staying at Pigeon Ridge and we had the absolute best time. Not only is Trisha a lovely host, but the home is well appointed, cozy and situated with a beautiful view of the lake. The colors this year were so vibrant, so we enjoyed leisurely walks along the country roads. We also enjoyed sitting around the fire at night and fishing off the dock during the day. A truly wonderful stay for a nice long weekend. Thank you!

Perfect place for our family Christmas

We enjoyed our stay at Trisha’s large, comfortable cabin! The kitchen had almost everything you could need to prepare your meals. We weren’t able to find a crockpot but it had everything else! Everything was well marked and noted in the binder. Nice and private at the end of the road. We didn’t want to leave and will definitely stay again!!!

Perfect girl's getaway

It was our annual girls weekend, and this cabin did not disappoint! It could accommodate us all, with so many spaces that you didn't feel cooped up. Many of us enjoyed the screened in porch for coffee and late night chats. The water is very clean. The little set up by the lake was great for those that didn't want to be in the sun too much. The trek up and down those stairs was tough for some, and when it rains it gets very slippery with all the mud. Overall, a great stay that will definitely happen again!

Get Away for 9

We wanted a place away from the bustle of the cities and one that could accommodate nine family members and two dogs. This cabin was phenomenal - with beautiful views of the lake, privacy, and a lot of outdoor space. The cabin allowed for a variety of activities from the solitude of sitting on the porch and reading a book to outdoor games, and a family puzzle around the large dining table. The host had just the right balance of communication, and we felt very welcome at the cabin.

Family friendly home

Our multigenerational family included nine adults, and one child and a dog. It was set up for us to have a relaxing and joyful weekend. Tricia’s home included integrating spaces for adults and children to interact. There was a coloring table, books, and many toys. Felt like home right when you walked in the door.

Beautiful home in a stunning location!

We stay on Lake Sylvia every summer, but this is our first time at this location. The home is absolutely beautiful, and was perfect for our larger than usual group. It’s location on East Lake is fantastic, and the dock is wonderful. We had no problems keeping our boat secure during our stay. The kitchen is very well stocked with any kind of pan or utensil you may need. There is even a waffle maker! There are many games to play during quiet moments, and the screened in porch is absolutely fantastic if you want to enjoy the evening air mosquito free. We cannot wait to come back!

Beautiful Lake House

We had all of our family and grandkids for an extended weekend. Beautiful lake home and an amazing screened in porch. The steps down to the lake were a bit of a jaunt, esp when coming back up to the house. We just needed to be prepared and bring anything that we might need the first trip down. Wouldn’t stop us from renting again though! Lovely!!!

Lovely Lake Home

The home was beautiful, clean, spacious and has wonderful views! The beds were comfy, the kitchen was nicely stocked with cooking utensils, there were a lot of family fun board games, the large dining room table was nice for meal time and game time time. We enjoyed the gas fireplace, and living room was very inviting. There was easy access to a nice dock and patio area down by the lake (stairs involved). The deck and screened in porch were nice too. It was very quiet and private, but it was also close to town where we found some fun eateries. It was close to a nice apple orchard/pumpkin farm, and there were some pretty hikes nearby. The lake was crystal clear, and we did catch some fish. We would love to come back for another visit. Trisha was a good host to work with.

Best family Thanksgiving EVER!

We stayed at Trisha's beautiful lake home to celebrate Thanksgiving with extended family and friends. It was more than we could ever imagine! Clean, bright, warm and sunny! The kitchen is super well stocked with EVERYTHING we needed for entertaining, the bedding and beds were very comfortable, and all the spaces were warm and inviting! We loved all the board games and spent hours around the big farm table playing and crafting. The view was incredible - we felt like we were on top of the world. We loved looking for agates down by the beach and on the dirt road. Our dog also really enjoyed his stay and loved being able to come along. Looking forward to returning someday! Thank you for sharing your beautiful space Trisha!

A fun fall weekend!

Thank you so much for opening up your beautiful home to our family! We had such a wonderful time and could not have asked for a more comfortable and spacious spot to enjoy the long MEA weekend. We were a large group spanning all ages and while we didn't leave the property, we did enjoy the amazing views of the lake, the screened-in porch, agate hunting on the gravel road and games around the fireplace! The beds were all extremely comfortable and the house was clean and well appointed! The owners, Trisha and Matt, were also very responsive, and an absolute pleasure to work with! We certainly look forward to returning to your home in the future and would highly recommend it to others looking for a relaxing escape on beautiful Lake Sylvia!

We could not have asked for a better weekend! The house was amazing, the location was easy to get to (even though our GPS decided to invent a new road) and the cabin owners were incredibly fast with responding when we had a few questions. The lake is super clear and the view was breathtaking. Our weekend was spent hanging out in the dining room playing games and eating our hearts out. Would defiantly stay here again.

Family get-together

We loved that this property was pet friendly. It accommodated our family very well and is a beautiful home with an amazing view of the lake. The lake was great for fishing and boating. The water is very clear. We brought our boat and there was plenty of room to park and turn around in the driveway. We very much enjoyed sitting in the screened porch and listening to the loons. We met one of the owners while walking and he was very friendly and they were easy to contact and communicate with. We will definitely keep it in mind for future vacations!
