Unique Historical log cabin with private beach and 300 ft. of waterfrontage.

A big thank you to all of our five-star guests! We have two-person canoe, two one person kayaks, and two paddle boards for your use. Also, The Old Log Cabin has a smart TV, so that you can mirror streaming services from your smart phone. In addition, COMCAST WIFI and streaming, fast speed internet, great reception.
You will step back in time when you stay at this preserved historic log house (circa 1790). The old log house is now equipped with a galley kitchen that has an electric stove, ref., sink, blender, toaster, coffee maker, microwave, and stacked washer/dryer. There is a dining area adjacent to the kitchen, as well as another on the lake front outside porch. The second room on the main floor is a living area with TV/DVD, futon, and hammock which is great for naps.

The second floor of the log home has a bath with pedestal sink, toilet, and bath tub. There are two bedrooms upstairs (one large bedroom with two twin beds and a queen bed; the second bedroom with a queen bed). Each bedroom has its own pedestal sink. But don't worry, this old log house now has central air conditioning and heat as well as a fireplace and wood stove downstairs!

This interesting and unique old log cabin is located on very private, wooded property and is geared to outdoor fun and living. In addition to the inside bathroom, there is an outdoor shower with hot/cold water. A covered outdoor cooking area with a 5 burner gas grill, under counter ref. and water is available for added convenience. If you prefer cooking out with charcoal or wood, there is also a lakeside fire pit and charcoal grill with water. The dock area is large, with a table, umbrella, slide, and rope swing. The beach is sandy and gently sloping which is great for small children. Also, two kayaks along with other lake toys are available for use. The fun won't stop when the sun goes down, because the dock, all cooking areas, and paths are well illuminated with outdoor lighting.

This property is located on a peninsula in a small community with a quiet private road that's great for family walks or jogging.

David, the host, was very welcoming and quick to respond. The cabin is beautiful with all it's original charm. Location was perfect, close to many great hikes and wineries. The waterfront was the perfect spot to relax and enjoy some quiet time at the end of the day. Will definitely be coming back in the future.

We had a Fantastic weekend staying at the cabin. Dave and Carmen were wonderful to communicate with from the time we reserved, the questions that we had along the way and were very welcoming at check in. The work and detail they they have done to the cabin and property is amazing. They thought of everything and then some extras to be sure a Great Time is had by all, right down to fresh flowers in mulitple rooms. We will definitely be looking to visit there again.

We have stayed here now twice and will keep coming back! It is small but just perfect for the four of us and even our two dogs. The cabin is extremely clean and organized with all of the necessities you can think of. The decor makes it very cozy. Great sandy beach area to enter the water, awesome dock, and tons to do with all the lake essentials.
