My stay at this lakeside cabin was exceptional! The host Jenny was so responsive and helpful with all my questions prior to arrival. The house was beautifully decorated and very clean. The amenities were nice and the kitchen was stocked with new and clean dishes and cookware. The bathrooms were clean and had soft fresh towels. The beds were extremely comfortable and each had really nice pillows and bedding. You can tell it was recently renovated and everything seemed new and fresh while still keeping a cozy charm. The lake view from the house was unbelievable and it felt very cozy and serene. It was a perfect place to relax and unwind and I will definitely be booking another stay here! I would highly recommend booking a stay here to anyone looking for a place to unwind and relax!

The place was so great on every level. From the minute we walked in we were captivated by the cleanliness’s and beautiful decor that made us feel excited to be there. Jennifer made every part of the experience from the start easy and was she always happy to answer questions and explain anything we didn’t understand. She had a great feel for the community and the lake. We will be returning to this place for sure!
