Peaceful week

All the renovations made this cabin so much better to stay in. We had stayed 3 times previous, snd it was more of a rustic fishing cabin. Now it is a perfect cabin for anyone. We had great neighbors in the cabin next door too. Only bad thing about our stay was the fishing has really slacked off in the last 5 years. We didn't catch half as many as we have in past years. Overall, i would highly recommend thus cabin to anyone looking for peace and quiet in a beautiful setting.

Super accommodations and incredible views and location. Close to all the attractions but also somewhat secluded. Cabin was recently remolded and was perfect for my grandson and I. Would book again!

Great location!

The location was wonderful! We enjoyed the lake and all its natural beauty and wildlife. The cabin was a little rough as far as needing updates, especially the plumbing fixtures. The bed and bedding were great! Very nice and private for us and the dogs.
