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.

Amazing Memories!

We had an absolute blast. The hosts were so accommodating and helpful. The place was beautiful and had so many amenities. We loved the hot tub! We all hung out in the living room, playing games, laughing and watching tv. We enjoyed it so much we are already booked for next year.

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!

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!

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.

A retirement community

This home is beautiful and stocked with everything you could ever need. It’s nestled in a retirement community setting. The owners are never more than a few houses away, in and out of the house all day and into the evening. Be sure to read all the pamphlets as there are a lot of rules. The kids kept telling us there were flash lights in the yard after dark, I thought they were kidding until I stayed up with our baby one night and saw it for myself. I have never felt safer in a rental home as we were being watched always. The owners are so hard working and put so much sweat into this home and they are very proud of it, and it is really nice. We ended up leaving 3 days early as we felt very uncomfortable, and felt as if we were taking their home from them, as this home is where they live when not rented out. The owners told us the community watches and would report to them also if rules were broken. We are just a family, not spring breakers or girls gone wild lol. In my opinion, the owners should probably not rent this house out as they just love it and it’s hard for them to see anyone else in it.
