Great week!

As usual, we had an amazing time. Large enough house to accommodate the family, and so many things to do. Lake was a bit murky, and fish weren’t biting much, but all in all 5/5 experience.

Family getaway

We loved this cottage! There is plenty of space for everyone to spread out. The lake is peaceful, the beds were comfortable and the memories made are priceless. Don’t hesitate to stay here. : )

Family Vacation

If you are looking for a place for a large gathering, this place will be perfect. There is plenty of space for everyone to be together while allowing space for some quiet time. The kitchen is wonderfully stocked with almost everything you need (3 crockpots, waffle maker, nesco, just to name a few things). The week we were there, fishing was slow but the lake was awesome to boat around. The only caution we have is that if you have people with limited mobility, the main living room is sunken with one step down and there is not a handicapped accessible door into the home.

The VRBO app has the wrong address listed so we went to the wrong place. The cabin was great, and the host was responsive but after traveling all day from California to arrive at the wrong cabin in a snow storm was extremly stressful. We spent over an hour trying to enter the address listed on VRBO and in the VRBO communication emails. We had no cell reception and had to leave and drive back into town to get ahold of the host. After leaving we were finally able to communicate with the host and get into the correct address. The cabin was nice and cozy with great views but there was zero household supplies and no bath towels. We had to make the long drive back into town and buy everything like bath towels, paper towels, trash bags, and other essentials. We also had to shovel snow off the long entry steps to the cabin wich were completely covered in snow and unsafe for anyone especially my elderly mom with limited mobility. I understand it's a relatively remote location but for the high rental price one would expect at least some basic accommodations. Great place tho, we had a lot of fun and the host was nice and even let us get a late checkout of 11am vs 9am If you stay here be sure to contact the host directly to get the actual address before traveling, prepared to stock up on household essentials and be ready to shovel snow.

So much fun

This property is spacious, clean, with so many amenities. The fishing was wonderful and the swimming dock let the kids easily get in and out of the water. The water was just warm enough for swimming and kayaking was great. Will keep this on my list!

Great cabin

We had a great week at this cabin. Private boat launch was a plus as we had various "toys" to put in the water. The cabin has a great layout and it has a beautiful interior. It has two sets of washing machines/dryers which came in handy, I wish they had two fridges with the number of people we had, but the one they had is pretty large so we made it work. Lake is great with a few islands that the kids can explore.
