Every window at the back of the cabin showcases a view of the serene lake, from the dining room to the living room to the primary bedroom. We relaxed and even worked a few days given the fiber-optic internet. The sandy beach is perfect for lounging and mere steps from the beautifully clear lake where you can see the bottom. The kitchen is terrifically outfitted for cooking. Within 15 minutes, the location has access to incredible day-hiking trails and a distillery we visited more than once.

My boys (7 and 4) were in the sand from sun up to sun down. The additional pontoon rental was great. ##### Paige T.

Cabin was clean and stocked with all we needed to relax and getaway. Beautiful, clean lake; excellent swimming and sandy beach just feet from the cabin! Great find for our 2023 vacation. ##### Jody G. Stayed 6 nights in Jul 2023 ### 10/10 Excellent #### Michele K.

The beach was just as beautiful as the pictures show. The owners have thought of everything, from toiletries to a fully-stocked kitchen to extra bedding to outdoor furniture and games. We rented the pontoon for an extra fee (less for 5 days than we would have paid elsewhere for 5 hours!). There is a pond behind the cabin that I was afraid would mean lots of misquitos. I was wrong. I did not see a single misquito on 5 days. I would certainly go back! ##### Michele K.
