Wonderful, Relaxing stay

This was our 4th year of staying at the house. The house is so comfortable. Nicely decorated and has all the essentials for a great stay. The lake access makes it so peaceful, sitting by the fire pit or doing some fishing. Tom and Salisa are great hosts.

Great cabin that was super clean and comfortable and had everything we needed for a relaxing stay. It was a tad close to the neighbors and there was some traffic on the road, but expected when it’s a mix of permanent and seasonal properties.

Hidden Gem

When we arrived, we were amazed at this hidden gem. The entire place had an inviting vibe, from the bedrooms to the dock. It was beyond comfortable, with several areas to sit and catch up with family. The hosts could not have set this place up any better. We will return next year.
