Our family of four (inc. a 13 year old and 12 year old) had a blast at this charming cabin! We LOVED having a beach and boats to use. The kids splashed around in the lake at night, we had an epic Connect 4 competition, and the hubs and I enjoyed a beverage on the deck (loved the wine that our wonderful host left for us)! The cabin had everything we needed. We didn’t use the hot tub but it was a great option to have. And, Peegeos (literally a stone’s throw away) was a very fun birthday meal for our newly minted 12 year old! The location of the cabin was close enough to everything but far enough to feel peace and quiet! Thank you to the hosts for the fantastic communication and recommendations! We loved our stay! ![](https://a.travel-assets.com/ugc/hotel-reviews/adc7be12-23c8-4418-8b0f-1398f0ed6cda-1751216233423.jpg?impolicy=resizecrop&rw=204&ra=fit&q=high) ##### Kelly B.
