About this property

Beachfront Cabin with Lake Views & Harry Potter Room

Welcome to the 'Peapod Cabin'. Our cabin comes loaded with everything you'll need for a stay with just your partner, your family or friends. Enjoy lake views from the Porch, Deck, Living Room, Kitchen and downstairs bedroom. Savor a long bubble bath in the jetted tub. Stay cozy reading next to the fireplace. The options are endless for your stay.

**Summer stays must be a full Sun-Sun rental**In the springtime enjoy views of the birds coming back to the open waters of the lake. We love watching the loons and the eagles in the mornings from our screened in porch. Head on over to Albion Park just down the road for picnics, hiking, or just large open areas for your kids to burn some energy. Grab a local bottle of wine from a nearby winery and sip it by the fireplace with your fresh chocolates from the local candy store.

Ah Summertime. The best time for the lake! We have a beach/swimming area right on our property for you to enjoy. A pontoon is available for rent and we have a dock if you'd like to bring your own boat as well. We have water toys, sand toys, a canoe, paddle boards and more for you to enjoy outdoors. Be sure to get your s'more fix in at night around the fire while you listen to the night sounds of the lake.

In the fall, you must get out and enjoy the colors! Take a hike, grab your camera for photos of the trees around the lake, build leaf piles in the yard. There are a few apple orchards nearby that offer both kids and adult activities. Grab some apples and head back to the cabin to bake a homemade pie and sip on a fresh jug of local apple cider.

In the wintertime our cabin includes ice skates in numerous sizes (we can't guarantee we have your size), sleds, a pair of cross country skis and snow toys. Want to try your hand at ice fishing? We have a pop-up ice house available at no extra charge. Want to stay inside and relax during your stay? No problem. We have 6 smartTV's with wifi to catch up on show-binging, a jetted tub to soak in for hours, a fireplace with reading options from baby to grandma and warm & plush throws with plenty of mugs to fill with hot chocolate or coffee.


*Icehouse is seasonal and is only on the lake during safe ice levels. Subject to change at anytime.

The home was large enough to accommodate or family for and out of town wedding in January. Didn't spend a lot of time at the property, but appreciated the kid options as our grandchildren stayed eith us and were entertained with the kid options.

Girls weekend

Overall we had a great weekend! The pontoon was great! The lake is quiet and the outdoor space was awesome. A few cleaning issues. Seemed like it hadn’t been used in a while. The outside was covered in Cobb webs and the enclosed porch was too. There was also a hornets nest under the porch so we couldn’t enjoy the rocking chairs. The dish washer leaked so we didn't feel comfortable using it. The level of clean inside was not great. Very dusty/cob webs everywhere. Refrigerator was dirty too. The house was otherwise very comfortable and updated. Beds were super comfy. Overall I would stay again but they need to find a new cleaning service :)

Great Vacation Rental

I hosted my bachelorette party at Kati’s house in Annandale and it was fabulous! We rented the pontoon for the weekend and received very helpful & thorough instructions for use. Very clear beachfront and water was great for swimming. Accommodations were clean and provided local recommendations pointed us to Thayer’s for a very fun Saturday night dinner. Hosts were very responsive to questions. Would recommend!

A lovely week!

We had a great time here! 11 of us (ages 5 to 75) enjoyed the cabin. It really is beautifully remodeled. Communication was great leading up to and during our stay. It was a bit cold and rainy during our stay but we enjoyed pontoon rides between rain showers and the kids enjoyed swimming and kayaking/paddle boarding despite the weather. We also enjoyed two trips into Annandale to get ice cream and stroll along the little Main Street and play in the town park.

Perfect Spot

This lake house had everything we were looking for. Fit our group of 8 perfectly. Loved the fact that it was close enough to the cities but still seemed “up north”. Kids had a great time catching fish right off the dock.

Peapods

Overall, we had a fantastic experience. It is a beautiful property. The only complaints are that dishes were put away dirty (caked on food from the dishwasher) & there weren’t enough kitchen towels for drying dishes. The crockpot was missing its liner and lid. Great communication with Kati, I will recommend this to others!

About the host

Hosted by Kati Vos

Host profile image
Hello! I'm Kati, and welcome to our Peapod Cabin. We've named it after our family of 6 (or 8 if we are counting the animals). Pat & I met when we were 5 years old, dated shortly in the 5th grade :), and reconnected after high school. We got married in 2009. We enjoyed a number of kid-free years together before becoming foster parents and eventually adopting 4 amazing kids in 5 years. Our family means everything to us, which is why we created this space. We all worked on it together, the kids even helped pick out pieces for "their" rooms. This project has given us the chance to learn and grow as a family and we hope you love it here as much as we do!

Why they chose this property

We chose this property/location because of our love for the area with previous family cabins. Pat's grandma owned a cabin in Annandale that brought our family so many precious memories and when that cabin was passed on we knew we needed to keep the memories alive in one of our favorite places.

What makes this property unique

One of our favorite things about this cabin is that we can walk right out of the living room and onto the beach. Our kids LOVE sand and water so this is our biggest perk.
