It was very easy to find. The parking a bit tricky but the hosts were very responsive. We had a nice time. Thank you.

Very friendly and helpful customer service. Our truck broke down in front of the home and staff was helpful and very understanding as we navigated getting a tow in a snow storm. Would stay again.

The cabin is located right across the street from the lake which was fantastic. A short walk got us right on a public dock or shoreline. The view from the deck was great. We like the location because it is not busy or crowded. The cabin was clean and served us well. Two things that we noticed, the shower was tiny. I am 6 ft and my wife is 5 ft 2 inches and we both found it small. A shower wand would help a lot. Also there was no hot water at the kitchen sink. Not a major problem .

Best location for the price. The amenities inside the house are bare minimum with the small TV and lack on shower space but, just take a look out on the patio and it makes you forget about the lack of the inside.

Not for people with walking disabilities. However, once getting up on the property with help from family and friends and settling in, the view of the lake is beautiful. I enjoyed having coffee out on the deck and dinner. The docks on the lake are across the road and easy access for our teenagers.
