Family Vacation

We had a great time and enjoyed being right in the lake. It was disappointing that some of the amenities listed didn’t match our experience (basement bedroom is a full, not a queen bed; no high chair; no kayak).

We were looking for a lake cabin with comfortable spaces inside, a good outside deck and a lake that allowed us to do some boating and fishing! Family Adventures was a great fit to do all those things!Kyle is a great host! He answered all our questions ahead of time and was very accommodating to our wishes, like bringing an extra 50# bag of pellets for the smoker. The fishing boat was awesome and very easy to operate! Plenty of room at the dock to bring our boat up and still fish or play right from the dock! Loved the large capacity washer and dryer, and the huge hot water heater. Yet, it still felt very cabiny! A great place!

July 2025

The owner was quick to reply to inquiries and easy to work with. The kitchen was well stocked, including lots of different spices, and there was a variety of games that the kids enjoyed playing. There was a lot of spiders/webs in the basement. We bought some spider spray and sprayed the area to get rid of them.

For the price I paid thought it could have been better kept up. Needs new windows and had ants a ton of spiders. Dishwasher was out but he did respond that he would come take a look at it the next day. Only stayed three nights just washed dishes by hand.

Looked great on line, outside was a mess, completely out of character with nearby homes/cabins. Dishwasher did not work at all, supplies not in logical locations and not listed in the book with other details. There were a ton of flys, but no flyswatter! We had a great time on the water but outside/deck area and siding had a lot dead bugs and stains on siding, also had a ton of cobwebs and was not inviting.
