Summary: This cabin is a wonderful lakeside retreat in a beautiful, quiet setting; it has all the amenities needed for a relaxing stay. There is lots of sleeping space, a well-equipped kitchen plus outdoor grill and Blackstone, and an amazing family room, as well as canoes and kayaks to use on the lake. The hosts are wonderful to work with. I highly recommend!

Summary: 14 of us stayed in this amazing cabin. Perfect being right on the lake. So many fun things to do at the cabin and within a drive. The beaches have shallow areas perfect for kids. The kayaks and canoe allowed us to go to beautiful spots on the lake. Inside the cabin, there was plenty of room to be separate from family or with family. The host was amazing - quick to respond with any questions or comments. Everything worked great while we were there, as we used the grill, the griddle, the dishwasher, garbage disposal, washer and dryer, etc. The kids loved riding bikes in the large paved driveway. Shuffleboard was a big hit too. We would highly recommend staying here.

Summary: The place was outstanding. The only complaint was that we did not get the code to get in the place. An older gentleman was cutting the grass that day when we arrived and thankfully he gave us the code. The address house number wasn't the same either on mailbox.
