Cabin was neat and clean. Super charming with its vintage vibe. It is next to the lake however the access would be very challenging for someone with mobility difficulties. Steep hill on a dirt trail. Listening to the loons at dusk and dawn was beautiful. Very friendly neighbors near by.

Cute little family cabin right on the water

Cute and cozy cabin with all the essentials. Great for a family vacation. A short walk to the water in a beautiful setting. We brought our pontoon and it was PERFECT!

Perfect getaway

My wife and I were looking for a quiet cottage with tree and water views. Brad's cabin was the optimal choice for our criteria. We loved the blend of rustic and modern conveniences. We look forward to staying here again.

Classic cottage

My wife and I stayed here two different times this summer. As far as we are concerned, this is what a cottage up north it's supposed to be like. The setting is beautiful and the Sun rises spectacular

Perfect Lake Cottage

What a great lake cottage, perfect for the holiday with my spouse! We were able to dock our pontoon boat out front and enjoy the Tri-Lakes. Perfect spot to view the 4th of July fireworks.
