Great Weekend Stay!

We had a lovely time for Memorial weekend. The fish were biting and the beds were comfortable. Our friends across the canal (own cabin) came for dinner and lunch, plenty of room for everyone! We mastered puzzles and enjoyed our stay. Thank you for sharing your cozy cabin with us!

Fishing, Family, and Friends

This property was absolutely perfect for our group. We enjoyed the nice cool temperatures and beautiful surroundings while drinking coffee outside. The kids enjoyed fishing from the dock and canoeing in front of the property. There was plenty of room for the trucks and boats.

Boys Trip

Myself and my 2 boys along with my buddy and his son stayed here on a Monday thru Friday for a week of hanging out and fishing. Host was awesome, went out of his way to get me information on fishing spots and launches and the home was great, boat was parked at the dock which made the start of our daily ventures easy. The property was great, we had stuff to do all the time, even in the rain. Great Memories were made and have no complaints!

This house is gorgeous and the cleanest we've ever stayed in. Many things to do outside with a short jaunt through the inlet to the big lake. Lots of nature and scenery right outside your door. A great family vacation.
