Comfortable cabin with a beautiful view
We had a very enjoyable and relaxing weekend. The cabin was very clean and comfortable. We especially enjoyed eating on the deck overlooking the water and having a fire down by the lake in the evening. Marc is a very friendly and accommodating host.

Private, quiet and peaceful
Very private, quiet and peaceful location. It rained most of our stay, but the lake and leaves were so pretty. We had games, puzzles and lots of channels on the rain days. The manager was very friendly and even left us a little gift when we arrived. We really did have everything thing we needed except for food. Thanks for a wonderful visit.

Little piece of heaven
We were looking for a nice long weekend to unwind and relax… this place was it! The lake was peaceful and beautiful! The view from the property was amazing! Fishing from the dock and boat relaxing! Teaching our youngest pup to “dock dive” so much fun! The cabin has everything you need! Marc is a great host!

Fishing Cabin
Everything went great and the fishing was phenomenal. Definitely some of the best largemouth, small mouth, and pike fishing that I've had on smaller lakes up north. The fishing boat with a small gas engine was a nice touch and worked great for getting around the lake. The welcome bag of wine, meat, and cheese was great as well. The deck was a perfect place to eat meals and perfect having both a gas and charcoal grill on the deck available for grilling. Would definitely come back in a heartbeat!
