Beautiful location exactly as pictured. We stayed 3 nights end of Sept. into beginning of Oct. Peaceful and quite. We did not see one person on the lake during our stay. The cabin was cozy and well stocked. Nice local brewery close by.

Cute cabin, great view. The oven was broken and kept randomly turning on and heating up, even though the oven was turned off. The host was aware and knew they needed to fix it. Hopefully they will before next tenant.

Great quiet getaway spot

We had a lovely time at Dana's cabin on the lake. The views are incredible and the home is well stocked. We appreciated her description about the sulfur smell of the water. I think no one had rented the place for a while and though it was very clean, the sulfur smell of the water was very strong, and none of us ended up showering the first night of our stay. It got less strong the next day, so would recommend coming a day before to let the water smell dissipate if planning on hosting guests. Maybe it's less strong in the summer, and the house certainly had a lot of toys and canoes for summer fun! Thanks.
