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!

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.

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.

AMAZING FAMILY VACATION SPOT
My family had an amazing stay. From the moment we arrived, we were blown away by the stunning lake views and the peaceful atmosphere that surrounded us. The cabin was immaculately clean and had everything we needed for our family, with all the modern amenities we needed for a comfortable stay. One of the things we loved most about this cabin was its size - it was spacious enough for our entire family, yet cozy enough to feel like a true retreat. The bedrooms were comfortable and quiet, and the common areas were perfect for spending time together as a family. We especially enjoyed the large deck overlooking the lake, where we spent many hours taking in the beautiful views and watching the sunsets. The location of this cabin is also fantastic - it's situated on quiet, secluded Loon Lake of Whitefish Chain, yet is still close enough to town to make it easy to access local restaurants and activities. Overall, we would highly recommend Sunny's cabin to any family looking for a peaceful, comfortable, and fun-filled vacation. Sunny was incredibly responsive and easy to work with, and we couldn't have asked for a better experience. We can't wait to come back and stay here again!
