We enjoyed the lake and all its natural beauty and wildlife. The cabin was a little rough as far as needing updates, especially the plumbing fixtures. The bed and bedding were great! Very nice and private for us and the dogs. ##### James & Lisa H. Stayed 7 nights in Aug 2024 ### 10/10 Excellent #### Pamela R. Jun 22, 2025 Liked: Cleanliness, check-in, communication, location, listing accuracy #### Peaceful week All the renovations made this cabin so much better to stay in. We had stayed 3 times previous, snd it was more of a rustic fishing cabin. Now it is a perfect cabin for anyone. We had great neighbors in the cabin next door too. Only bad thing about our stay was the fishing has really slacked off in the last 5 years. We didn't catch half as many as we have in past years. Overall, i would highly recommend thus cabin to anyone looking for peace and quiet in a beautiful setting. ##### Pamela R. Stayed 7 nights in Jun 2025 ### 10/10 Excellent #### Chelsey H.
