Cute, Comfortable, Perfect Stay
Was exactly as described. Kayaks on site for use with small beach and water access. Dogs allowed so it made a quick last-minute stay perfect. Host on site to greet which was very nice. Only stayed one night but had everything we needed.

A Weekend Getaway
We decided last minute to get away for the weekend without the kids. This was a perfect little cabin for us and we took advantage of the kayaks on the lake. The owner/manager was very responsive and communicated wonderfully. We were pleased.

Cabin on the lake
Cute little cabins on the lake with dock for our boat. Cabin has everything you need - just pack clothes and food and you are all set. Property is nice and room for parking trailer. Was great to get a one night rental so close to the water. Tom is great to work with and answers questions quickly.
