Great lake spot with stunning views. The fire pit was very nice and we loved the s’mores basket left for us! Master bedroom mattress was very comfortable. Overall wonderful spot on the lake. Even caught a bunch a fish off the island.

We are so happy that you shared a piece of paradise with us. We had a lovely time with all the comforts of home. It was clean and we can't say enough good things about our experience. We plan to come back many times in the future. Thank you so much, Julie

Beautiful cabin, nicely decorated, and comfortable bedding and beds. It was wonderful to wake up everyone morning to the beautiful lake and have a fire every night under the stars. We loved paddle boarding and canoeing-it was a fantastic family experience in a beautiful home in a great location.
