The property was excellent for our recent annual girls weekend gathering. It was very spacious with multiple bedrooms. It is in a great location with being able to walk to the Brewery or Medo’s. The back of the house is very tranquil looking out to the small pond next to Johnson lake. The hot tub was perfect to enjoy during a rainy morning. Would stay again!!

Siblings at Johnson lake

This property was great! We had a nice time with our siblings and spouses checking out the lake and the nearest brewery. The house had everything we needed which made cooking easy with a well appointed kitchen, big table to eat at and play games. The beds were comfortable and having five bedrooms gave us room for all the family. We enjoyed our stay and hope to return again.

Wonderful stay

Theresa was a wonderful host. The cabin was spacious that easily held our entire family of 10 for a Christmas celebration. She decorated it beautifully for us for Christmas even putting up a tree. The cabin was very well stocked with everything we needed. We would stay here again and recommend it to anyone looking for a rustic getaway. Thank you Theresa for helping make our Christmas memorable!

50th birthday celebrations

My friends and I celebrated our 50th birthdays at this bra cabin on Johnson Lake. There were plenty of beds and the kitchen was fully stocked. The place was very clean and comfortable. We really enjoyed the backyard for evening games and drinks. The only thing that would have made it absolutely perfect if it had direct access to the water. Swimming and fishing areas were a short walk. The host met us at the cabin the day of check in and gave us all the tips for the stay. She was awesome!

Best Rental Ever Stayed!

The cabin is beautiful and clean with every amenity you need and more. We were a family of 7 and enjoyed the view of Bossung Lake. We loved kayaking and fishing. The owner was very responsive to all questions and was local in case we needed anything. She was a delight to talk to and learn the history of the cabin and the others around. The neighborhood kitty, Felix, came to say and wanted lots of love. We hope to be back soon and make more memories.
