Property was clean, pet friendly. Nice view of the lake. My husband found the bed too soft to sleep on in the middle of the night and slept on the couch.

The property was cozy and clean. Everything was great with our stay but did notice a strong sewer smell after the rain on Wednesday and Thursday. Kitchen equipment all worked great. It was a perfect spot for our family trip.

Very cozy and peaceful little cabin. My girlfriend and I stayed with our 2 dogs, and all had a fantastic time :) So many things to see and do in the area. A long weekend was not enough!
