Good clean property
Very nice place to stay, very comfortable and great communication with the owner. My only comment would be limited access to the lake. We took our boat to other lakes to fish but there is no beach at this cabin.

Amazing Cabin Retreat
We came out to visit nearby family and this cabin was perfect. We appreciated how well stocked the place was, the location and tranquility. We even went fishing off the dock and practiced some catch and release. We loved our stay so much and will definitely come again. Thank you for letting us stay at your cabin.

Cabin on Norway
Cabin was very clean, and in a nice location. Living area was nice sized, and kitchen was well appointed. There is no central heating system, instead there are heaters on the wall in the kitchen & the bathroom, and baseboard heating in the living room. No heaters in bedrooms, so we had to leave the doors open. Bedroom didn’t have bedside lamps or plug ins for phones near the bed.
There were no welcome instructions as you would usually see in a rental, which is nice to explain the best way to manage the heating, TV instructions, or local guides to restaurants etc. This would have been very helpful on check in for this cabin.

A Perfect Stay!
We had a group of 5 and 2 dogs that stayed here for the weekend of my son's wedding. The property is so nice; made me wish it was June instead of April. Cabin is super cute and very cozy; all of the amenities are there for sure! The property owner is super nice and very quick to respond. We could not have been more pleased. I would recommend this property without hesitation.

Snowmobile trip
This was a very clean and well stocked property. The check in and check out went without a hitch., the response to questions was prompt. There was ample parking and trail access was easy. Absolutely no issues and only praises for our trip.
