Our entire home and the surrounding 2 ½ acres are available to you.

Detached screened porch with queen-size Sleep Number bed and pull-out couch (Perfect for those guests who want to get even closer to nature and hear the loons and owls hooting at night!)
Dock and swimming area - kayaks and paddle boards
Lake-side fire pit (Help yourself to firewood.)
Large yard for outdoor games
Charcoal grill

Family vacation
Our stay at Gregg's cabin was fabulous. We had seven family members and there was plenty of room for everybody. The cabin was just as advertised, no surprises. We enjoyed our time kayaking, paddleboarding and just sitting in the water soaking in the sun. There is ample yard space to play yard games too. The cabin is located on a quiet lake and quiet road so our time there was very peaceful. There was plenty of water inflatables provided and generous amounts of coffee, spices and condiments we could use. I highly recommend Gregg's cabin for a nice getaway.

Weekend getaway
Our group of friends enjoyed the location, quiet atmosphere, and comfortable home. The property is not “perfect,” because it’s clearly been well-used by its owners over the years. it is the sort of place where you can relax and not take yourself too seriously.

Very comfortable beds, access to much wildlife & scenic lake viewing. Heating kicked out on the colder nights and the A/C when needed was sufficient. Clean & organized. Priced right too! Great owners that responded to questions asap. Jacqueline H

Family getaway
We enjoyed our stay very much. The house was very comfortably set up for our group of 7. We enjoyed Duck Lake, and liked the secret path to Cross Lake even more. At Cross Lake the swimming and fishing were just terrific. The owners both rent and use this property, so their personal belongings are here and there but not in an discomforting way. There was plenty of shade on sunny days. And ways to find sun if you wanted it. The fire pit area was wonderful. Kitchen had everything we needed.
