We had a blast and loved the small town atmosphere. The local pub was a great stop on our way between golf courses and was well worth the price and company! We will be staying here again.

A really fun place to stay for a short getaway with friends and a toddler. We enjoyed the amazing game room, the hammock, the deck, and the view of the lake. The place is decorated super cute and with very comfy and homey bedrooms. The host was easy to reach and great to communicate with. Thank you!

Peaceful Winter Getaway

The cabin was exactly what my husband and I were looking for. It was well appointed, clean, beautifully decorated, and located on a beautiful, serene lake. There was plenty of room for our two dogs to run and explore the property. We look forward to staying again!

Our host was a great communicator and very responsive. The house decor was cute. Our kids appreciated the games in the basement and the record player in the living room. We made several meals and the kitchen was well stocked (except for salt—we never did find the salt). The view of the little lake behind the cabin was beautiful too. We had a comfortable stay, just 30 minutes from House on the Rock and Taliesin.
