If you are like us and enjoy privacy and beautiful lake views, then you will be happy with this location. It was just what we were looking for. During the days we visited the surrounding towns and loved visiting with the locals. The cabin was spacious, clean and relaxing with all the amenities you need. We look forward to coming back soon, LOVED IT!! ##### Jeff S. Stayed 3 nights in Oct 2023 ### 6/10 Okay #### David P. Dec 7, 2022 Liked: Communication #### No consideration for sudden medical issues My 83-year-old dad had to have balloon angioplasty the morning we were supposed to check in, plus our 10-year-old had a severe ear infection and had to be worked into the doctor's schedule. With all of this delaying our departure it was going to be 9:30pm (and a 3-hour drive) before we would get to the property, and we would then have to check out within 34 hours. We asked the host if we could reschedule to a later date and have the funds we had already paid apply to that. We were told no funds would be applied to any future stay. We decided it was simply not worth the 6 hours of driving at this point and decided not to go. The 3 stars reflects a neutral opinion as we never actually saw the property. ##### David P. Stayed 2 nights in Dec 2022 ### 8/10 Good #### Craig M. Mar 10, 2025 Liked: Cleanliness, check-in, communication, location, listing accuracy #### Be aware of extra cost for a pet friendly place. Over all we were VERY happy with everything about our stay. The only disappointing thing was being told I owed an additional fee for having our dog with us. Nothing was said when we made our reservation and paid it in full. I wasn't told about it until we were actually there. Its was disappointing. ##### Craig M. Stayed 2 nights in Feb 2025 ### 10/10 Excellent #### Sharon P. Oct 20, 2023 Liked: Cleanliness, check-in, communication, location, listing accuracy #### Get away and Relax We loved our stay here and got much needed peace and quiet and relaxation. The lake view from the huge window is beautiful! It was very clean, the bed was very comfortable and I loved all the many textiles, throw blankets, pillows, rugs etc, which gave the house that warm, cozy, homey feeling. We didn’t want to leave. Joseph answered all my questions in a very timely manner and even brought something we needed and left at the door. Very accommodating. Would definitely stay here again and would recommend this house. Thanks for sharing your home Joseph! ##### Sharon P.

We booked last minute, Joseph was very responsive with any questions I had, and the cabin was wonderful! All logistics were a breeze and the cabin is very setup for hosting and random accommodations (kitchen materials, coffee, soap, etc.). Just felt very well done and we had a great time! ##### Joseph M. Stayed 2 nights in Nov 2022 ### 10/10 Excellent #### Kim D.
