Beautiful Cabin stay

We spent two nights at the cabin and it’s a beautiful location right on the water. The cabin is well decorated and clean. The AC, and washer/dryer were a plus, and our host had some wood set aside for us. The grass/gravel road to access the cabin is difficult to navigate at night but the cabin is secluded from other houses or cabin.Overall recommend this cabin!

Family vacation

Cottage has no storage for clothing. No dresser or closet to hang things. Nice shaded yard with chairs for enjoying the water view. Owner was prompt at replying to every request. Washer and dryer made it very convenient for a family.

Cozy Cottage

This property was perfect for our needs. It is a small, cozy cottage, but with two of us and our two dogs, it was plenty of space. It was clean and well-appointed. The bed and couch were comfy. The host was friendly and helpful.
