Book this cabin!
Wonderful as usual. Great place to relax. Julie is a great host. Who else would leave you the makings for s'mores? Good communication with her, as usual. You won't be sorry if you book a stay here. We've been going for years.

Perfect Cabin
I rarely leave a review but I thought it was 100% warranted in this case. The house was the cleanest, most orderly, and well-maintained cabin I have ever stayed in. Everything in the house had a function, was well thought out, and it had just about everything we needed. It's centrally located and perfect for whatever you're looking to do. In our case, mountain biking and relaxing. The owners responded quickly and are top notch. Thanks again!

Relaxation at its finest
We love this cottage! Always clean and has everything you need. The property is so quiet and relaxing. The host is always so accommodating. I don’t think I ever had to call her, but, she always leaves contact info in case we need something. I highly recommend staying here. We spend our days at the lake, and nights at the fire pit. This is our 5th family vacation here, and we hope to come back many more years!
