On a mission
The house was great. Perfect for one or two couples. Nice dock on lake but we did not use on this trip. We came here to help a couple whose house had flooded in the big storm. House was clean and in order.

Wonderful stay!
Came with my childhood friends to celebrate our 40th birthdays. It was the perfect little getaway, but was only about 45 min away from home for most of us. We enjoyed this clean cozy cabin, sipping coffee on the porch, soaking up the sun on the dock with our cold drinks and snacks, and s’mores by the fire. Bit of a hike back up from the dock, but it was good for us!

Great Cabin
This cottage/cabin is awesome. Knotty pine is special. Everything needed is there and it simply feels great. We stayed nine days and each day your eyes go up to the ceiling as you “take in” the interior. I could walk up the knotty pine stairs a hundred times and enjoy looking at it. Great view of the lake. We liked everything.
