Perfect Lake Cabin
This was exactly what I pictured as a perfect stay at a lake cabin. It was clean and updated very well. The host had everything you could want: snacks, tea, coffee, condiments in the fridge, extras of everything you might need and forgot to pack. The view through the trees out to the lake is beautiful. There was plenty of firewood for the inside stove and, if it wasn't winter, for the firepit also.I truly can't say enough about how accommodating and nice the owner is. She went out of her way to prep the cabin for my family and our pups. They all felt very special. Everyone in the family wants to come back in the summer and again next winter.

Peaceful retreat
Myself and two friends enjoy winter hiking and look for a cute, quiet and clean place to come back to at the end of the day. This place was a solid match for it all! Very clean, quiet and cozy. We especially enjoyed building a fire in the wood stove each evening after a long day of cold hiking and watching and listening to the Trumpeter Swans on the lake. It was a small space but was comfortable for the three of us and the host has made excellent use of the space. I would rent again for myself as a solo retreat or bring my two young boys. Definitely recommend!

Anniversary getaway
The cabin was a perfect getaway to celebrate our 35th anniversary. We enjoyed the peace and quiet and all the personal touches. The decor was perfect and we were greeted with a gift of flowers and sweets in honor of our special day. It was truly a one of a kind stay and experience! We were also able to bring our small senior dog along which we really appreciated.

Quiet, cozy lake side getaway
Adorable cottage on a spacious, well maintained private property. Lakeshore access with a nice dock, kayaks & paddle board. The lake is small and private and very quiet & peaceful. The cottage is neat & snug. Charming decor & thoughtfully appointed with all the little amenities you need. Beautiful screen porch! I love that firewood is provided for the indoor wood burning stove & the outdoor fire pit. A perfect retreat!
