A Must Stay
This place was perfect for our 2nd annual friend cabin weekend. So much so, we already booked for next year! We had kids age range from 6 months to 7 years and there were toys for all ages. The kitchen was stocked with all appliances and the Blackstone was used multiple times. The beach area was perfect for our crew of swimmers and sand players. Kayaks for use was a bonus! Loved the trip around the lake. The space was perfect for 5 families of 17 people to spread out, play games, and have relaxed downtime. The place was clean and well kept up! The communication with the host was flawless, she was quick to respond to help us with booking for next year and we are already looking forward to it!

Fantastic Family Gathering for a Large Family
This property is fantastic. The location is great, the lake was quiet, clear, warm, and fun for all ages. The kids really enjoyed the lake, beach, yard, swings, play sets, and game room. The adults enjoyed the kayaks, paddle boat, and game room. The house and guest house are very nice. We had enough space for our large extended family and there are a lot of great gathering spaces. It is very kid friendly. This ranks at the top of the places we have stayed at with our family. We would love to stay as this property again.

Such a Beautiful Place
We're a group of high school friends and our spouses, we get together every summer for a lake weekend. This place was so clean and inviting. Every detail was taken care of, down to the sand on the beach was raked. It was such a wonderful place to stay! I wish there were more than 5 starts we could give them.

Wow! Everyone was happy
This property has it all! The house was clean, beautiful and well designed for our grown family-our adult children and 4 children under 11. There were great toys and sand for lake fun for all on the sunny days. The game room was so cool-variety and fun for all ages on the rainy days! The table space inside and deck views and seating made dinners and relaxing so easy. The appliances were great; and 2 full sz refrigerators make food storage ample. We would definitely recommend this property will definitely be back!

Friends retreat
We have done winter friends retreats with our families for over a decade now. (Crazy how time flies!) We loved this cabin set up for our crew. There was plenty of space for the kids to play and the parents to visit, we enjoyed big family meals and visits in the kitchen/dining/living room space, we loved the beautiful sunsets by nightly fires as the kids played, caught fish ice fishing right out in front of the cabin, took peaceful hikes and walks around the property, and just enjoyed the space. Such a great location! Highly recommend this cabin listing!

End of Summer Vacation
We loved this house and cabin. The two houses were perfect for us with 7 bedrooms, space for everyone, many lake toys(we used them all). The wildlife, privacy and quiet of the lake were amazing. The house was clean and new and amenities were plentiful, with lots of toys for the kids. Kara was very responsive! Our kids and grandkids can’t wait to go back.

Family Vacation
This property worked very well for our group of 12. The kids loved the game room! Nice dock to keep our water toys tied up to. Great smaller fishing lake and also great clean lake to swim in. The cabins had everything we needed to enjoy our stay. We would definitely book this cabin again.
