Arctic blast fishing tournament

The weather was absolutely beautiful and absolutely horrible at the same time the cabin offered a very nice place to stay warm while it snowed and to get out of the weather while we weren’t fishing, we didn’t win, but we will be back. The host was very gracious to supply space heaters when one of the units went out But overall we had a great time.

Perfect Lake Getaway

We stay in a lot of VRBO and photos can be misleading but these photos are spot on! The place is as clean and perfect as in the listing. They had all kinds of lake toys and floats and plenty of space for the whole family. It was very clean and quiet. We definitely would stay again!

Great Location

Quiet location on a dead end street, no traffic, no noise from the neighbors. Our favorite was the large screened porch. Spent a gorgeous fall day on the porch watching college football and enjoying the view of the lake. Second favorite was the swing on the dock - so peaceful!
