"This was a perfect cabin for our weekend family getaway. My kids loves the bunk beds and the fact they had their own room. Beds were comfortable and the grey blankets were super soft and cozy to snuggle up in! The cabin is in a great location and was super easy to find. It is in a quiet neighborhood and we had a wonderful view of the lake from the front windows. Ken and Angelina were fantastic hosts and so easy to communicate with. We would definitely stay here again!"

"We loved the cabin and it was stocked with everything we needed and plenty of room. Much needed: a clock in the Master bedroom and living room, along with a boat too👍 If this were mine, I'd trim back all the shrubs and weeds covering the bay window and cutting the view of the channel by 80%, plus the spiders need to be cleared off the channel side back door."
