Great cabin!

We stayed here with some family members as we were in the area for a wedding. The cabin was great, had many amenities. The lake was perfect-calm, clean, and the boys had fun fishing. Would definitely book again if we decide to stay on that area again!

Family weekend

We had such a great time. This was my 1st time renting a vacation home, i brought so much extra stuff, and the house was stocked with everything you would need! We made great memories here! And will definitely look into renting it again next year!

Beautiful in the fall!

I came here with my three children (5, 3 and an infant) and we loved every minute of our stay. The day before we came a friend had told me that this part of the lake has experienced flooding over the last several years, so I was nervous what we would be walking into. I was pleasantly surprised! You can really tell the owners have put effort into making this a beautiful and welcoming lake home. The views of the fall trees across the lake were spectacular. Highly recommend and I would definitely come back.
