Their property offers plenty of space for riding quads, golf carts, or other toys, and the surrounding area has no shortage of activities like the Crumstown Trails, fishing, and golfing. We truly enjoyed our stay and look forward to visiting again."

"Our group had a wonderful stay at the log cabin on Keeler lake. The cabin is well stocked, clean, and exactly the feel you want from a lake house. Plenty of recreational activities to do and kids loved the beach. The dads were all super impressed with the stamped concrete patio and walkway. Comfortable and separate sleeping spaces for our 3 families. Highly recommend for a lakefront getaway!"
