The cabin was very clean and comfortable. I loved the different “levels” you could sit at outside - the deck and down a few steps to the yard and fire pit and down a staircase to the water. We did have a visitor multiple times a day. It was Waggs, the very well behaved Bernese mountain dog from next dog. He made having to leave my dog home so much easier.

Unfortunately our stay was cut short due to an emergency back at home.We did stay one night.The lake front view is awesome! There is an upper level as you come out the back of the cottage which has patio furniture and a fire pit.There is a stairway that takes you down to the shore where there is a dock.The shore area is cemented and clean.Very nice! it rained the short time we were there but we would have definely taken advantage of these ammenities!

Nice stay at the cabin. The location is very nice and the outdoor space more than met our needs. The bedrooms and bathroom are a bit cozy, but they worked just fine. We had hoped to get our canoe out on the lake but the weather had other plans.

This place was great enjoyed everything about it. The only improvement I can think about would be to have a row boat we could have used to get out and do some fishing. We fished off the dock and caught very small perch but from what our neighbor told us it's great fishing if you get out a few hundred yards. But still loved it, cabin was clean and had more than what we needed and the location is beautiful. And Jayne was just a text away all the time great communications. Thanks again, Earl

The lake location was great for sunsets. Too rainy for water activities or campfire. We explored many of the nearby State Parks as well as the Garden Peninsula.

We really enjoyed our stay, 2 couples, grilled and ate on the back deck, made a fire- they had 4 marshmallow roasting sticks ready for us what a nice touch. Could get a little hot in the bedrooms but fine if you turn the ceiling fans on the highest level I’m a hot sleeper. Friendly pup Wagz visited us. So much charm would definitely recommend
