Summary: Great location, house well equipped. Great hot tub and eating area outside. Lots of room to park. Just difficult to get up in top bunk bed, maybe it has something to do with my age.

Summary: We absolutely loved our stay at this cabin! It was private, peaceful, and perfectly tucked away—just what we were looking for. All of our correspondence with Paul prior to the stay was great—he was accommodating and responsive, which made everything smooth and easy. The cabin itself was cozy and inviting, and the surrounding tranquility made it the perfect escape. We would 100% come back. Highly recommend!

Summary: Duncan Lake Escape is the most amazing getaway! The drive is beautiful and once you arrive you’ll feel like you’ve truly escaped to a relaxing retreat in the middle of nowhere! The cabin is quite spacious but cozy and beautifully decorated. The kitchen has all the tools you need to prepare your meals and drinks away from home (from a cocktail shaker, mixer, cake and muffin tins, plenty of dishes, mixing bowls, casserole dishes, etc). The view of the lake and forest is serene and you can enjoy these from the awesome hot tub on the deck, from around the firepit in the yard, or from the comfort of the living room and kitchen. Plenty of firewood is available for the wood stove inside which heats the house very well or opt for a fire outside to enjoy the scenery. A small store/gas station about 7km away in Meadow Creek has everything you need. We enjoyed walks down the beach with our dogs, the lake is pristine, and a long drive up to Trout Lake to explore. The cabin has excellent wifi and when it went out during the snow storm for a few hours there are plenty of DVDs, books and games to keep you occupied. Overall this was one of the best vacations we’ve had and it was so nice to unplug and unwind as a family. If you want a peaceful, relaxing and fun experience to get away from it all, then Duncan Lake Escape is the answer! We will definitely return in the future! If we could rate this higher than 10 out of 10 we would! Paul is an excellent host!

Summary: My husband and I needed a long weekend to relax and recharge, and this cabin was perfect. It feels far more remote than the drive time would suggest, and the cabin itself is cozy and beautifully appointed. One of the best views from a hot tub I've experienced, and curling up by the fire was a joy. One thing: the stairs up to the queen bed are really steep and open. Our 12 yo dog could not manage them, so we ended up sleeping downstairs in the bunk bed (she's used to sleeping in the same room with us).

Summary: This was our first time using VRBO. Everything was fairly straightforward. Too many extra fees considering we did most of the cleanup for the next guests ourselves. All in all, would use VRBO again, maybe different host/location.

Summary: We had a great time vacationing in the area and enjoying Paul’s cabin. As a carpenter, I had appreciation for all facets and detail that went into the construction of the cabin! Simply beautiful! Amazing property, most importantly for me, the remoteness, and the serenity of the area and comfort within the cabin. Great times relaxing, enjoying the family time we had. Lifetime memories. Thank you Paul! Dan

Summary: Serenity and privacy at its finest! Not one person ventured onto the property. The stars at night are magnificent! Paul provided everything needed! We highly recommend this luxurious and rustic get away. We will definitely return with beach shoes, our kayak and my floatie. 10/10...100% Thank you, Paul for sharing your gem of a property!

Summary: This is set in a wonderful but very remote location! We came in from the north side and drove the ‘shorter’ route-which is not for the faint of heart-it is a very narrow gravel road that winds along cliff faces-extremely picturesque but a little nerve racking at times. When you pull into the cabin it is a wonderful beautiful location. The cabin is quaint with all the amenities-it is small. We went for an explore down to the lake-this was the highlight of our stay-we spent many days exploring the beach and lake which seemed like we were the only ones there-truly a wonderful spot. Couple down sides: as the cabin is likely not utilized all year and we came early in the season there was a definite noise problem-we caught one the first day but the smell was quite difficult to handle-the cabin bathroom especially was hard to be in as the mouse smell was almost overwhelming. We spent our time at the cabin in the hot tub, outside shower, eating on the deck, and enjoying the view. In summary-if you want to get away from it all: this is your place. We had a great time, would recommend it but know it is far away!
