Rosie recently got a terminal diagnosis and this trip was exactly what we needed. This week Rosie did not have a cancerous mass on her spleen. This week she was a puppy chasing squirrels and swimming laps around the dock. I will forever be grateful that we found Rachel and her clean, quiet, lovely cabin. Oh and the water was incredibly clear! ![](https://a.travel-assets.com/ugc/hotel-reviews/2f9e371c-01dc-43f6-8e20-2ad6c4007e1b-1760143886359.jpg?impolicy=resizecrop&rw=204&ra=fit&q=high) ![](https://a.travel-assets.com/ugc/hotel-reviews/b60d65ad-9b70-45b7-a930-aed2b3be65b4-1760143882627.jpg?impolicy=resizecrop&rw=204&ra=fit&q=high) ![](https://a.travel-assets.com/ugc/hotel-reviews/dfb2cf54-7951-4796-8051-af9cc11e92cd-1760143885423.jpg?impolicy=resizecrop&rw=204&ra=fit&q=high) ![](https://a.travel-assets.com/ugc/hotel-reviews/4bf69852-d1ec-47be-b4c6-3c25e82feea9-1760143882855.jpg?impolicy=resizecrop&rw=204&ra=fit&q=high) ##### Jennifer A.

Loved this cabin and the lake! The cabin was large and roomy, with lots of windows to see the lake views from every room. I couldn't believe how well the cabin was stocked with the everyday things you need but don't think to bring or have room to bring them, whether kitchen items, cooking items, or bathroom/shower. One more item is needed, though, unless I just couldn't find it - a digital meat thermometer for my grilled chicken! Then for the lake there were fishing poles and lures, life jackets, canoe, kayaks, paddle boat, dock chairs, just everything you need is there! The host, Rachael, was very accommodating and quickly responded to any questions I had. I wish all hosts were like her! The cabin is on a private lake, so what a peaceful and beautiful place it was, plus lots of wooded area around the property to give the seclusion most people want when taking a vacation. I now know why people love living on a lake and can't wait to come back!! ##### Lloyd A. Stayed 7 nights in Jun 2024 ### 10/10 Excellent #### Cheryl G. Oct 26, 2023 Liked: Cleanliness, check-in, communication, location, listing accuracy #### Great Lake getaway My husband and I stayed here for 2 weeks in Oct. We went hiking everyday at local forest preserves and state parks. The color of the trees was amazing!! This cabin is well equipped with everything you would need in the kitchen and full size laundry. There is about a 20 minute drive to nearest convenience store so make sure you have provisions before you arrive. About 45 min to Grand Rapids. It is located on a private drive at the end. There are other homes nearby but still very quiet. We had many fires in the back yard looking at an amazing view of the lake. The temps were a little cool when we visited but my son was able to use the kayak to take a paddle around the lake. In warmer months this quiet lake would be perfect for families who like water activities. The one bedroom was very comfortable with a pull out couch and a spare mattress that we used when my son visited. Roku TV and wireless internet is available. Beautiful sunrises with a lake view and sunsets are pretty awesome also. Communication with host was great. It is obvious that the owners love this family cabin and are doing a great job of updating it. This cabin would be good for a couple and small family, or even some people doing game hunting. When hiking the Scenic state park we saw bear paw prints!! We would love to stay here again. ##### Cheryl G. Stayed 14 nights in Oct 2023 ### 10/10 Excellent #### john m.

We had a great time fishing, canoeing and paddle boating all week! The cabin has everything you need and it very cute inside. My husband is already talking about coming back next year. ##### Jen B.

We had the most amazing trip. The fishing was great. Went swimming. Made campfires went to the Antler Store for ice cream. The lake is beautiful. The cabin is beautiful with plenty of room for our family of four and dog. Plenty of area for the dog to run around and play and swim. We can’t say enough good things about Rachel she was so helpful and quick to respond to the many questions we had. The Refuge at North Padre is an awesome place and we can’t wait to come back next summer. Just a wonderful place. ##### Steven B.
