Wonderful Family Cabin

Our family stayed here for a long weekend and had plenty of room to gather or spend time apart if needed. The amenities made for a fun and entertaining time. We enjoyed watching deer graze outside the windows and spending time viewing the lake.

Manhattan point

The place was very nice and clean, comfortable beds. Only small concern were that some rooms were very cold and could not warm up. It was extremely cold outside but did enjoy the hot tub after a long day of ice fishing.

Annual girls weekend

This home was perfect for hosting my 13th Annual Girls Weekend! Plenty of room for everyone, lots of options for keeping guests entertained. Location couldn’t be better! Be careful on inside stairs. I slipped down a couple in socks and broke a toe. We will definitely be back though!

Fall getaway

The property was great, we are talking about booking again for next fall. We brought our pontoon and enjoyed the boat rides around the area. We spent time just relaxing around the fire and making smores. It is nice being so close to town and the community center. We brought our toddler to the play ground and she loved it. The dogs enjoyed their morning walk along the walking trail, which is right in front of the property. We enjoyed sitting on the deck and also 2 of the adults enjoyed the hot tub. It is also nice being close to Manhattan Beach restaurant The five days went by very fast but we enjoyed each one. King and Beck Family

Perfect for family or group stay!

The property was perfect for our family of 5 and our dog. It had plenty of rooms and beds that could accommodate much more. My teens love the game room- they played ping-pong, pool, arcade games and enjoyed watching movies. We worked on a huge puzzle as a family and played board games, which was good bonding time:) The property was right on the lake which my dog had a lovely time swimming every morning. There were many water toys to choose from, but we brought our own pontoon and borrowed some water skis. Overall, I would definitely recommend booking a stay here!

Great family vacation spot!

Cute, spacious house that's great for a family getaway. Had all the little things you might need during your stay. Only blip was a miscommunication on the availability of the boat lift.

Wedding Weekend

We attended a wedding at Pine Peaks venue. This was a 6 min drive from the house. We were all able to spread out and enjoy getting ready with the 3 bathrooms. We couldn’t find the iron that was listed and we happily surprised when an iron was delivered within an hour. The hosts very accommodating and attentive to my messages. We definitely would stay here again!

Nice home with many amenities

The rental was very clean and has many areas for people to gather. The size of bedrooms were good and the kitchen provided dishes for large groups and many small appliances. Our group was small - 4 adults. We did experience some issues: the water pressure was a significant issue in the kitchen and the bathrooms. Even with following the instructions in the house manual the issues continued. The owner has advised he will look into the issue. We were unable to use the entertainment area in the basement due to the significant musty odor. The boat and paddleboat weren't able to be used due to about 3 inches of water in each. The dinning table on the deck had standing water on it and had water stains. The firewood for the firepit was too large so we were unable to have a fire. If the above issues are resolved we would consider another reservation in the future.

Sister’s Getaway

We had a great couple of days at Sunny Pancake. The house had everything we needed and was well equipped as advertised. Sound of loons each day was a wonderful bonus. Loved sitting on deck enjoying a glass (or two) of wine. We will return.

Short Stay

We only had time for a short stay but enjoyed all the property had to offer. The kids loved catching as many little pan fish off the dock as they wanted, along with a few larger fish! It was a quick drive for any groceries or supplies we needed. The cabin was well stocked with everything else!!

Great week long vacation!

4 of us stayed for a week, plenty of room for 6 more people. Super comfy beds, Great location, beautiful scenery. Cabin had everything we needed and then some. We only went out to supper once and cooked/grilled the rest of our meals. Our evening dips in the hot tub were amazing. Nice sandy beach was installed our first day there. The boat lift is for pontoon, we brought our ski boat and tied it to the dock and felt very protected. I would not hesitate to book this cabin again with extended family :)

Family Vacation

Perfect for our first trip with grandkids to experience "lake life". Kids had a blast fishing from the dock. Public landing very close with great access to whitefish chain of lakes. Our family of 4 adults and 3 kids had plenty of room to gather and just enough space to retreat for privacy too. Manhattans across the street and 5 min walk. Great food, nice outdoor seating with views of the lake. Overall location was great with only a short drive to access groceries, restaurants, shopping. Owners were very responsive.
