Such a nice little place to get away and relax! Great internet service, very peaceful area. Super comfy chairs and beds. Everything you need to get away and relax. We enjoyed the row boat and fished. Campfire by the lake was so nice! Will totally be back again in the future!

Very cozy, comfortable and clean. The only negative was the water. It was so bad it little smelled like rotten eggs. Could not use it to brush our teeth or for anything in the kitchen. Taking a shower was difficult due to the rotten egg smell.

We really enjoyed our stay at this cabin. Unfortunately, the weather messed up our fishing. But we had a great time here anyway.
