Weekend Get Away

The cabin was absolutely darling, and the place was immaculate! Although it rained for half of our stay we still had a great time. We enjoyed walking the trails and cruising the lake! Thank you Smith Family for providing us with a lovely weekend get away! The Wetzel’s

Awesome getaway!

Our family had a wonderful time at this island getaway! We enjoyed the many included activities - from games to movies, evening campfires roasting marshmallows, and lots of time on the lake fishing, kayaking, and swimming. Communication with the owners was extremely easy and helpful. Can’t wait to return!

Great spot with everything you need!

We loved our stay! Finding it was easy, plenty of parking, nice boat to use. The property is curated perfectly for a getaway cabin- tons of stuff for kids to do. We stayed with a couple of adult friends but will definitely be back next year with our kids. Beautiful lake and friendly neighbors!

Unforgettable Family Getaway at Little Sissabagama Lake – A Hidden Gem!

Our family had an incredible stay at this beautiful lake retreat! The house was immaculate, providing the perfect blend of comfort and charm. The unique escape room and geocache adventure were absolute highlights – we had a blast island-hopping on the pontoon, searching for clues! The hosts were exceptional, making us feel welcome from start to finish. The lake itself was crystal clear and pristine, offering a serene backdrop for our vacation. We've traveled to many places, but this experience stands out as our favorite by far. Highly recommend!

Fun for the whole family!

GREAT Northwoods getaway!! A friend and I took our seven kids here and everyone agreed it was the best vacation ever! The adventure game was definitely a big hit!! I loved that it took us to the other islands. The fishing poles all set up and ready to go was a great touch as well! Everything inside and out is very well thought out to make things as simple, accommodating, and as fun as possible. The outdoor shower with was a big hit too, and it definitely helped us keep the cabin clean and the wet dirty kids outside. This place is GREAT!! I have so much more confidence driving a boat and catching Bass than I ever had. I learned a lot and so did the kids and we couldn’t be happier with how our trip went. Thank you Sam and Melissa for everything!
