Short ski trip

Property location is perfect for BBJF. Owner was very responsive and helpful. The property is what it is, a little older but you're not paying a premium rate so you shouldn't be surprised. Overall very happy with our stay. One thing just FYI, although home is cozy, the downstairs was cool and the upstairs will dry you up. If dry air bothers you a vaporizer may be helpful.

Cozy Cabin

Beautiful location right on the water. The host was very responsive. It was extra chilly when we were there so we did not get a chance to enjoy the water, but would like to return again in the future.

A great place to get away on a lake

The house had everything we needed... hot tub, kayaks, fire pit and fishing. The house was very clean when we arrived. The owners were very responsive and a pleasure to do business with. We will definitely keep this place in mind if we're in the area again. Thanks for a wonderful experience!
