The property has great views and direct access to to the river. Early January was mostly vacant which was peaceful and relaxing, exactly what we wanted. Hot tub needs lots of maintenance, only 20 of the 42 jets were working and the control panel was unreadable. The owner said that repair was scheduled. No dining table and only 3 stools at the bar. The deck, firepit, and boathouse were very nice.

The proximity to the lake was CLOSE and easily accessible. A flat and gentle walk from the back porch to the covered dock and boat house. The hot tub was hot and clean, and private with a lake view.
My favorite spot, the porch swing on the dock.

We had a wonderful stay. Every thing was as pictured and described. I only took on star off because the living room furniture seems broken down.the couch and chair with the ottoman sat to low to the floor and having joint mobility problems I count not get up from the furniture on my own. Also guest bedroom my daughter said the bed was uncomfortable. Other than that I would definitely stay again if living room furniture was updated.

Much needed getaway

The cabin is located right on the water with a very nice yard. Parking was very easy enough room for at least two vehicles to be able to turn around. House was immaculate. The property and location were very calm and peaceful but also close to downtown where there are walking , restaurants here live music so much to do

A little slice of heaven

Donny provided perfect directions, which was helpful since the property is a little off the beaten trail. We were blown away by the charm of this cabin, it took us back to simpler times for a few days. Donny drove out the first morning we were there to help us start the fireplace up. He answered every question I had and was a perfect host. We enjoyed the dock, hottubtt and the silence to help fireplacewhic

Beautiful views.

We were after a short, winter fishing trip and this house didn’t disappoint. The house was lovely and had everything we needed for a relaxing vacation. With several boat launches nearby and the boat house at the cabin, our teenage boys were able to fish whenever they wanted and my husband and I were able to enjoy nature. Check in was easy and the house was very clean and well stocked. Simply beautiful views.
