It was a wonderful place to stay for winter break. The cabin is cozy with enough space to separate or be together in one room. The property in the winter is peaceful and beautiful. The host is very responsive if you need him and the cabin was clean. The kitchen has all the dishes, pots and pans you need. Bring paper towels or napkins. We would stay again.

This is the 2nd time we've stayed here and it is always so peaceful! The cabin is beautiful, the supplied water activities were a hit with the whole family, and the new firepit was a nice addition to see and use! Tim was very easy to work with and kept us updated on some things that impacted our stay (plumber had to come and fix a toilet after we checked in and the oven didn't work). The plumber was friendly, professional, and fast! I can't recommend this cabin and town enough! Love the atmosphere and the history behind it. Always 5 stars from me!

Weekend family getaway

We really enjoyed our stay at the lodge. There are many modern amenities within this historic building. The central air was key during our late July stay! The detail and craftsmanship of these old CCC buildings is breathtaking. Great beach and fire pit.
