This Place Has It All and More
This property is settled in a quiet, wooded neighborhood with the lake just beyond the trees. The house is beautiful with the wooded, cabin feel. Each bedroom is roomy, the beds were comfortable, and two of the five bedrooms had a private bathroom. The kitchen is well stocked with what you need to fix whatever you bring. The dining table fit our family. The entertainment available between board games, bar games, and movies was fun! We enjoyed sitting around the campfire, bean bags on the lower patio, sitting on the upper deck, and inside the screened in porch. This place has it all and more! We will certainly be returning to this house. The owner was quick to respond to my few inquiries prior to arriving.

Awesome Log Cabin
This is a very nice, large, spacious and clean log cabin on a great lake. There was plenty of room for our family. There were lots of things to do in the cabin on rainy days. The lake is very clear and quiet. Perfect for fishing and water sports. Jake (owner) was very attentive to all of our questions/requests. Our family loved our special family time at this great property!

Accommodations worked great for our family of 8 adults and 6 children. House was clean. Path to lake was fairly steep. Enjoyed use of dock, canoe, water boards, kayak and lily pads.

Large cabin for groups
Overall, our group of friends enjoyed our stay. It's a neat cabin with traditional big log construction, a nice porch and plenty of beds to accommodate 10-12 comfortably. The kitchen was well stocked. It is nestled in the trees which is cozy but the view of and access to the lake is somewhat limiting. The host was easy to contact and very responsive.

We enjoyed our stay
The property was clean and comfortable. Lots to do in the downstairs play area with pool table, games, darts. We rented the pontoon and it was large and easy to drive. The path to the lake is very steep. A few of us had a hard time getting down to the lake. But the property was very nice with a firepit and nice area around the fire. There could be some updates done to the property but all-in-all we had a good vacation.

Guys weekend
Overall good experience. Everything we used worked as it should. The only downside is you want to use the lake the hill is a long and steep walk.

Cabin getaway
The cabin was great was exactly as described, plenty of space, the games were enjoyed by all. Jake was easy to work with, we ended up leaving a knife behind and he worked with us to get it back which was great, would stay again.

Family Get Together
My wife and I stayed here with our 3 adult children, their spouses and our 7 grandchildren. The house was as advertised with many available activities. There was plenty of room in the house so we did not feel cramped. Very nice view. We brought UTV's to enjoy the local trail system and the parking got a little tight, since we had 3 trailers, but was not unmanageable. The only negative would be the one neighboring property was a little sketchy, but you really only notice it when driving in and out. We would stay here again, for sure.

A day in the woods
We had a great time; the cabin was perfect for the group we had (5 couples). Parking was kind of tight if you have a trailer but very manageable if you unload on the road and back in. We did have 6 Jeeps and a truck/trailer combo and was able to park all of in in the parking space provided. The lake was very quiet on our weekend making the morning coffee on the deck seeing the fog lift on the water, listing to the Loons and watching the Eagles.

Family Lake Time
We absolutely loved this beautiful cabin. The accommodations are lovely! The lake is a great size, not too big so that it is really busy, but big enough to enjoy boating, fishing, kayaking, and canoeing- we definitely took advantage of the watercraft that Jake made available to us! The setting is so serene and close to wonderful hiking trails and beautiful forests. The little town of Walker is charming with cute shops, coffee shops and restaurants. We highly recommend a visit!

Nice for a Large Family Weekend
We had a nice weekend here. The cabin was as described. It has a nice up north log cabin feel and Howard Lake is spectacular. It's the perfect lake for water skiing. One thing to note is the walk down to the lake from the cabin is very steep.

Just What We Needed
We booked this beautiful log house for a fishing vacation for our 4 adult children and families. It was just what we needed for the 15 in our party. The place was clean, comfortable and had plenty to do inside and out. We wouldn't hesitate to book again!

Fun for Groups
Great place to entertain kids and adults alike. Great pontoon (extra fee). Jake is an easygoing property manager and in no way makes it seem like he’s trying to micromanage your stay. We enjoyed ourselves.
