We thoroughly enjoyed our time at this cabin. We relaxed, enjoyed fishing, boating and swimming in the lake. Ken was a wonderful host. Thank you for sharing your cabin with us! We hope to return in the future.

We had a good week. We would consider returning. It was a good spot for the kids to keep entertained while the adults relaxed and caught up.

This was our second time staying here. This place doesn't disappoint. The lake is very clear,with lots of great fishing off the dock for the grandkids and even better fishing on the lake from the pontoon. The cabin is a little older, but very clean and there was plenty of room for our family of eleven. We enjoy how peaceful and quiet it is here and yet everything you could possibly need is just ten minutes away in Baxter. I'd like to mention that with little older cabins sometimes the water pressure isn't good or the water smells. Not here, the water pressure and hot water are great and the water has no odor. Great property, thanks for sharing it Ken and Joan.

Thank you for sharing your lake cottage, it was everything we hoped for and made our family get-together from 3 states a complete lake vacation experience! We loved the vintage look and feel of the house. It was very clean and well maintained. The 4 bedrooms accommodated our 3-generational family of 12 nicely! We all enjoyed the cottage's large living space, 4-season porch and the basement rec room. It is on a quiet and secluded spot on the lake with great boating, fishing and beach area.

We enjoyed the place very much. Nice area for the kids to play in the water and the dock works great for fishing off of and tying up the boat. thanks again for such a great place to stay!

This lovely cabin was perfect for our annual family getaway. 3 adults (Our DIL couldn’t make it) + 4 kids, ages 5-9. Plenty of beds to satisfy everyone’s need for privacy or companionship as the case might be. Soft, sandy shallow beach was great for little people. Owner rented us an awesome pontoon boat that made fishing a breeze. Cabin is decorated in a kitschy 40’s? era rooster theme, loved it. No dishwasher but I found it relaxing to wash them by hand. Great 4 season porch and game room in the basement. Plenty of hot water and the kitchen was stocked with lots of supplies. The outdoor fireplace was perfect for making S’mores.

The property was just as described. Cozy nostalgic home, the lake was very clear and lots of great fishing both off the dock and out on the lake. The home had everything we needed for the nine of us. The most impressive thing however was the hosts. Ken and Joan really know their stuff. The check in check out process was fast and easy. They answered all our questions and needs without hesitation. We hope to come back again some time. Wonderful property!

This property was perfect for our families. The two upstairs bedrooms sleep four people in each room. The beach was our granddaughters favorite place to hang out and build sand castles. We would definitely recommend this cabin and would rent it again. Thank you for sharing this nostalgic cabin with us!
