In short: this was the best rental cabin I've ever stayed at. It was perfect in every way and, indeed, thoughtfully stocked. My partner and I agreed that we look forward to returning in the future!The longer version: Everything we could have wanted was right at our fingertips. We love to cook and found the kitchen had just enough of everything (as we forgot to pack our favorite cast iron pan). Couches were surprisingly comfy! The kitchen table was perfect for tackling an ambitious 1,000-piece puzzle. Plenty of wood outside for bon fires. We were especially grateful for Amanda's quick communication whenever we had questions. One of our favorite parts was enjoying paddling on the lake with the provided kayaks and canoe. The only non-perfect part of our stay was the mattress in the main bedroom - just a little too thin and stiff for our backs. Otherwise, it was truly an incredible stay with beautiful scenery.

This weekend at the lake exceeded all expectations. The communication before, during, and after the reservation was excellent. The cabin was clean, cozy, and provided everything we needed to have a relaxing time to rest and explore. The cabin was adorable and had so much charm making it so welcoming and comfortable. We noticed all the improvements and personal touches everywhere we looked. It made us wonder what the history of the cabin was… it would have been fun to see a few before and after photos to fully appreciate all the TLC you’ve given it. I highly recommend this property for anyone needing a beautiful retreat at the lake. Sunsets were gorgeous! Thank you for sharing your cottage.
