We can’t say enough about how perfect this place was for our family. It had everything we wanted.
Our family enjoyed this property in so many ways. We like that it was pet friendly. The cottage was very clean decorated nicely and comfortable. The yard was just the right size for our small grandkids to play. And the fire pit was a favorite evening activity.

Getting back to basics with the family
This is the second time we’ve stayed in the cabin, this time was just as wonderful as the first. With two grown daughters it’s so nice to have a quiet place to get back to just being a family without the hustle and bustle that life throws at you. Fishing, hiking, and kayaking is so much fun, nights by the fire and lots of laughing.

Book this cabin!
Wonderful as usual. Great place to relax. Julie is a great host. Who else would leave you the makings for s'mores? Good communication with her, as usual. You won't be sorry if you book a stay here. We've been going for years.

We loved the cabin!
We really loved the cabin and the area. The cabin was so accommodating with everything there we needed that we felt at home. We would definitely visit again if we're in the area. The cabin was beautiful! It was so peaceful sitting outside on the deck. The bird feeders attracted so many birds. Thank you! Dave & Joyce

Beautiful well maintained cottage tucked away in the woods. Very private! Has everything you need.. If you want to escape this is the place. You can get to nearby shopping, if needed, within 15-30 minutes. Seven Points Marina is a 15 minute drive where you can rent pontoon boats and enjoy the day on the water.

Relaxation at its finest
We love this cottage! Always clean and has everything you need. The property is so quiet and relaxing. The host is always so accommodating. I don’t think I ever had to call her, but, she always leaves contact info in case we need something. I highly recommend staying here. We spend our days at the lake, and nights at the fire pit. This is our 5th family vacation here, and we hope to come back many more years!
