Just a trip

Very relaxing place early morning can be noisy with traffic but quiets down. Ate at a restaurant “Between two Dams” very good food. Cabin 2 was very clean. When visiting the area again would definitely stay again

Quick Stay

My daughter and I wanted a cute little get-away for spring break, and this cabin was perfect. Everything was clean and neat, communication was clear, and the view was beautiful. We could have done without the snow on the last day, but that's on Michigan! Can't wait to come back and visit!

Amazing hospitality and wonderful area with breathtaking lake view!!

The property is wonderful lots of extras besides the cabin itself eg. Kayaks ,waterfront ,bikes ,cornhole,ect. The host is very easy to work with just leave things how you found them. I went with my wife and 3 week son and our doggo, And mind you it was cold snowing and raining and we still loved it. We will definitely be back. 5 stars 🌟 10/10 thank you guys from the pauwels family sorry we were a little late checking out 🙂

Mini vacation

The cabin was a perfect fit for our mini vacation. We loved every bit of it. Things like having our boat on the dock and going out fishing or just enjoying the beauty around us. We walked around the nature trail nearby and cooled off in the cabin enjoying a movie. The air conditioner was small but mighty! That kept us cool. Our kitchen setup made making meals perfect for both indoor cooking and using outdoor grill that was provided. Thank you for providing the comfort of home.

Peaceful cabin, lots to do

Stayed in Cabin 2 for two weeks with my spouse and 7 year old daughter and we had a very peacefull stay. Love that there are bikes, kayaks, and a lake beach to swim at just accross the street as well as two playgrounds in the neighboring campground. The cabin was stocked with some essentials that made our trip easier (salt/spices, coffee, etc). My husband worked remotely during our stay and the wifi was both fast and consistant (avg. 200-300 Mbps). We had to reach out to the host two times, and they were very helpful and quick to respond. Only thing that was not as expected was the AC- there is a window unit in the bedroom and two fans in the living room area; the AC is most effective with the bedroom door wide open so that the air can properly circulate. Not a big issue, but just something to consider if you visit during summertime. Overall a very wonderful getaway and we hope to be back in the future!
