Liked: Cleanliness
Cozy and comfortable
When we arrived we were immediately struck by how spotlessly clean the whole cabin was. And there were very thoughtful welcome packs too. The cabin has quaint cottage touches and the surround sounds from the woods were lovely. Very relaxing and comfortable environment. Full-sized washer and dryer came in handy. Don’t miss America’s Stonehenge just up the road. Would happily stay here again.

Do not recommend
It smells bad, like mildew. Owner gave me a list of reasons for the smell ( property is 100 years old, no foundation, neighbors property ( which is run down and very close. Yes property is also surrounded by neighbors), etc, yes he offered air fresheners and fans etc, but just be aware this place smells like mildew. Bugs- yes they are listed, yes it’s close to water, no it’s not secluded- but be mindful, these bugs listed are not outside- they are INSIDE and lots of them. Yes, owner offered to spray for bugs, but considering we were gone all day and opted to sleep in our vehicle every single night of our stay, it wasn’t even worth it. We didn’t even carry in our luggage, left it in vehicle and carried in what we needed. We just wanted gone. Also be mindful that you are surrounded by neighbors, most houses are ran down, and you will have to haul ( not carry, I mean drive) your boat or kayak to the water. The owner is very good about responding and check in was easy, but I am not complaining about him, I just would not recommend this property. I would not sleep at this property. Cleanliness- we were not happy with- I have pictures. This is the first bad review I have ever given on a property. It was not what we were expecting at all, so just be mindful of these things before booking.

Great little cabin!
A short walk to the lake where we enjoyed kayaking and were the first to use the new firepit. Great location with all the amenities you would need.

Excellent stay!!
This was a very clean, quiet and homey stay with easy access to the lake. Our family was able to easily access local attractions but also happily roast marshmallows by the fire at night for a getaway feel! Highly recommend.

Great Place to Stay
I needed a last minute place to stay for me and my dog and the hosts were very accommodating. The cottage was clean and nicely furnished. Very quiet and relaxing stay. Restaurants and convenience store close by. Short walk to the water. I have booked the location for another stay.
