Either on the porch or around the fire Lived how the grounds were so pretty. Much better than a motel ##### Doris D.

The cabin was very clean and seemed spacious due to the layout. We had a gas grill, huge porch looking out at the lake, a nice firepit, and plenty of room for our kid and dog to roam around. The grounds were also very clean. We will be back! ##### Sarah S.
