Wonderful memories were made with family. Our adult children and 4 grandchildren had such a great time fishing, bonfires, playing outdoor games and lots of laughs! The yard was perfect for our large group with littles. Lots of space inside too! Very comfortable and accommodating for a large group. Thank you for sharing your beauty lakeside home

Boys Trip

Myself and my 2 boys along with my buddy and his son stayed here on a Monday thru Friday for a week of hanging out and fishing. Host was awesome, went out of his way to get me information on fishing spots and launches and the home was great, boat was parked at the dock which made the start of our daily ventures easy. The property was great, we had stuff to do all the time, even in the rain. Great Memories were made and have no complaints!

We’re all retired so everything on one level was great. Loved the open concept and view of water from large windows. The only problem we had was the mosquito’s, which owner has no control of, when setting outside. Have no complaints on the house, very comfortable. Thanks

Girls weekend

Nice property, plenty of room for our party of 9. We liked the large table for games and the fireplace was nice, however turn it off a few hours before bed, otherwise the bedrooms don't get any heat from the furnace and were rather cool. There are a bunch of games in the table storage. We spent the day hiking Kathio State Park so didn't utilize the outdoor amenities on site, but the yard and dock area looked rather inviting. 2 bundles of wood were provided.

Space and views!

Although the property is not directly on the main lake, the huge windows in the open living area provide lovely views of the cove (there is a channel on the water through to the main lake). The kitchen is well-stocked and the beds are comfortable. We particularly enjoyed the fire pit and the gazebo (which let us play cards "outside" even in the rain. Communication with the host was clear and prompt.

Spacious and accommodating

We could not have asked for a more relaxing atmosphere. We enjoyed the open fire pit in the evenings. Perfect weather to be outside. Huge grill for grilling hamburgers or steak and veggie kabobs for 6 easily. Cabin had huge open dining room/living room area surrounded with all windows to view the colored leaves on the many trees. Kitchen and bathrooms were well supplied. Part of the group tried fishing for walleye. No luck but they came back with lots of good memories of the ones that got away and many images of a beautiful lake. We recommend Hunter's Point restaurant in Isle for a perfect walleye dinner. Downer for us was no view of the lake from our cabin. The cabin is located on a canal that was shallow and covered with green algae. TJ was a gracious host and answered all my questions and gave me excellent tips before we even set foot on the property. So helpful. Thank you for a memory-filled week.
