Culver Lake Cabin
The cabin had every amenity needed. A dishwasher was not necessary. We loved the privacy offered through surrounding woods and the homemade rustic furniture, window molding, and cabinets. Having air conditioning was a true asset the owners responded to our needs immediately.

Cozy and Comfortable
We were in the area from Iowa for a family event. December, so the typical lake activities weren't in the cards. But we did get to enjoy the fireplace! This is an old cottage (1920s) and a unique property. You will like it!

Little slice of heaven
We loved our long weekend in the woods and enjoyed the cabin, screened porch, and lake. Cabin is homey and clean and had everything we needed. We hiked at Stokes, did some fishing, but mostly relaxed at the fire pit and fireplace. Would definitely recommend and hope to visit again.

Adorable Cozy Cabin in the Woods
I called this cabin the "Goldilocks and the Three Bears" Cabin. It was cozy and adorable, decorated in a wooden theme. The kitchen was well stocked and modern. Beds were comfortable. We did not use the downstairs room because it was only accessible from either an outside door or a steep narrow stairway through the back porch, but it too was lovely. Our fifth person slept on the couch because she was not comfortable going down those stairs. The fireplace was crucial because we had three straight days of rain. The hosts were very accommodating by providing more wood for us. The back porch was really nice. With the rain and the chilly temperatures I was sorry we weren't able to use that more. There was only one bathroom, but it was nice ,and we made it work. We also used the grill and the outside fire one night. All in all we had a wonderful stay. The area was beautiful and the hosts were friendly and accommodating.

Alone in the woods
This cabin was perfect, a litttle rustic the way it should be, but everything you could need. The back porch is the best. The kids enjoyed the lake, a even took the row boat out for a spin. Barbra was most accompanying and answered all the questions I had. Thanks we had a great time.

The cabin is so cute and cozy. We hung out a lot on the back porch listening to all the birds. It was very relaxing. We also made use of the canoe and kayaks and had a beautiful relaxing time on the lake. The owners were delightful and we were able to reach them any time we needed.

About the host

Hosted by Barbara & Richard Cardinal

Host profile image
This cabin was built in 1925 by a member of the Disney family and it was used as a hunting lodge for his friends. There are several cabins, none the same, scattered in the area around the mother house across the street. This house is a member of the Historical Society and we cherish its welcoming charm.

Why they chose this property

When we saw this property, we knew we had to own it. It is so charming and cozy, not to mention it is part of Culver Lake and all it has to offer.

What makes this property unique

Lake rights to a private lake community for fishinig, swimming and row boating for our guests is a plus. Come back to the Cabin and feel the trees wrap themselves around you and put you a step back in time. Sit on the back screened in porch and relax in the peaceful quiet of the day with your favorite beverage. Evening brings fun around the chimnea toasting marshmallows and enjoying family fun.
