Great place!

We had a Bachelor party in the area and this was the perfect place! Close to the golf courses we attended and had a great beach area to cool off after a few rounds of golf. Plenty of room for a large group.

Perfect For A Girl's Weekend

We stayed at this adorable house for a bachelorette weekend. There were 12 girls in total and the house slept everyone comfortably. The house was perfect for what we were looking for and activities inside and outdoors. I would stay here again!

Great house

It was the perfect summer get away for our family. The house was as advertised. The beach and toys were fabulous. We had one rainy day, so we played with all the games inside. One thing to note, is you need to bring your own beach towels. We had a great stay!

Wonderful get away

Our goal was a family vacation/reuinion, so we had 4 families here. We also wanted to cook every meal and play games. I appreciated that the kitchen was functional, not just the bare basics. We were able to relax, enjoy the lake and be together. When i had questions the host was very responsive.

Perfect!

Booked this cabin for a surprise to celebrate my husbands 50th birthday. We brought nine people in our party. The teenage girls had a blast with the kayaks. They also said the beds were soooo cozy! Moms loved the delcious coffee and ease of having accessibility of washer and dryer on site. Plenty of outside seating, parking, excellent fishing off the dock. Our weekend went much too fast and so much fun was had. Thank you, Angela!
