The best place
Publié le 28 août 2024 sur HomeAwayI have visited this idyllic spot about 10-12 times, and each time I am reminded of why I love it so much: the feeling of isolation on your own private island, the company of the cheerful small birds, the magnificent osprey family in the tallest tree (their nest is a few feet from the cabin), the view down the lake from the porch and living area, the curtain of trees surrounding the cabin, the warm water for swimming, the calm quiet at night, and the parade of ducks and loons nearby.
And I confess to the sense of independence (pride?) that I can go without electricity and running water for a few days! I also like the new canoe - sturdy and stable. For first timers, the guest's guide tells you everything you need to know and bring.
I did bring a fully-charged USB battery pack to recharge my phone, but never needed it - or called anybody or checked my emails. I did not WANT to! This place is perfect for setting yourself free for a few days.

Beautiful lake but the cabin wasn't as described
Publié le 30 juill. 2024 sur HomeAwayThe lake was beautiful, but the cabin was a disappointment. What was described as a remote getaway turned out to be a rundown place in the center of very busy motorized boats that passed by day and night. The guests are expected to clean for the next guests, which never happened to us. The cabin had to be thoroughly cleaned, the compose toilet was even worse. When we tried to communicate this to the owner, there was no response; the only communication I received was a list of what should be cleaned for the next guest; we left a list of how we not only cleaned but serviced the toilet and raked and cleaned the outside. Still no response from the owner, not even a "thank you," very disappointing. Nothing worked, including the grill, fireplace, and shower. We brought our own, but this wasn't communicated either. Even the directions were faulty; construction was going on, so we had difficulty finding the dock, etc. This wasn't communicated before our arrival. Again, I am very disappointed.

A Great Escape
Publié le 27 juin 2024 sur HomeAwayMy sister and I enjoyed our 3 days on the island. It is exactly as described. The directions are great and communication was quick and very helpful. We experienced rain and hard winds but that only made our time more magical. Watching the osprey above and listening to the loons just added to the experience. There was plenty of cleaning supplies, directions, lighting, pans, and all the supplies needed besides bringing additonal propane, sheets, food and clothes. We did bring a lot of water but there was plenty of potable water already there. We ended up using the cooler available instead of the refrigerator. But the directions looked easy enough. The water was clean and refreshing. Swimming was so refreshing. We felt far away from it all yet it didn’t take us long to canoe over. Waking up without getting out of bed and seeing the sun rise on the water was something I will always look back on. We both commented that the queen size bed was extremely comfortable. We both slept great every night. The deck was the perfect spot to have your coffee while listening to the baby osprey getting their breakfast. My sister and I had a hard time leaving our own little paradise. We both recommend staying here.

Peaceful & Lovely - in need of TLC
Publié le 17 juin 2024 sur HomeAwayThe perfect place to unplug, recharge & relax! Falling asleep to the sound of the loons and the gentle waves of water restores the soul!!! The cabin is so cute and just the right size. The only disappointment was the gas fire pit still didn’t work (it didn’t work last year), the kitchen drain was completely blocked so it backed up into the sink and onto the floor and the screens are in need of repair so a lot of bugs get in.
We were hoping to make this an annual stay …….

Unique and Wonderful Experience
Publié le 2 août 2023 sur HomeAwayIt's not often that you get to paddle out to a little cottage on its own small island to stay for a couple days. This place was perfect for us to disconnect and relax. It was so very peaceful. We'll definitely be looking to come back here.

Perfect respite
Publié le 13 juill. 2023 sur HomeAwayThe cabin is perfectly located, just a short canoe ride to total privacy. We especially enjoyed watching the 2 baby ospees with their mamma. We enjoyed the swimming off the deck and fishing from both the dock and canoe. Everything you could possibly want was provided. Looking forward to a return trip.

As advertised, your own island with great views and privacy
Publié le 18 août 2022 sur HomeAwayThis is a total gem of a place. The island is so cool and quaint--it's a 2 minute canoe ride from the shore but once you're on the little island, you're definitely alone, except for the ospreys, humming birds, and all kinds of other flora and fauna! We took the canoe out a lot to watch the birds,and look at the other islands. We'd also run into town during the day to pick up fresh fish and veggies to cook at the house at night, plus all the fresh blueberries that grow on the island! Just a really special stay and a really special place. Also Deb, the host, was super communicative and very helpful. 10/10 recommendation.
One note--I gave it a 4/5 on cleanliness simply because this IS camping to a large extent (nicer than true camping but short of "glamping"). The house is perfectly well-suited and keeps out the elements, but just understand that you're going into nature with no electricity or running water, so expect bugs and critters and the like. If that doesnt bother you, this is your place.
