Great Homey Cabin
Perfect cabin for small groups/families. Everything in the description of the property is accurate, read through it entirely! Definitely bring your own water, the well water is strong. Quiet, peaceful area and not too far from towns in any direction. We went to LeRoy for gas, pizza, and groceries. Very happy about the cabin being pet friendly; I brought my 80 lb hound-mix and he did great with the size of the cabin, loved the backyard and the backroads were perfect for going on walks. The Moraine View park was great, but I recommend visiting when all accommodations are open for the season. Overall, great experience for a getaway, it was home away from home!

Perfect little cabin for the perfect little getaway
This cabin was exactly what my fiancé and I needed. We desperately needed a quiet getaway with our senior dog and Abbey delivered. It had all the amenities we needed, plenty of space, and was very clean. We loved our time here, we were so comfortable and peaceful and already cant wait to come back. Thank you so much Abbey!

Deceiving and scammy
There are houses surrounding this cabin. There is no privacy at all. The loft bed is really 2 twin beds so you end up with a gap in the middle everytime you sleep. I asked about the trail to the lake and received nasty text message snapping that the map was in the guest book however there was no clear path and it is not a short walk but a dangerous walk along a country Rd to even get to a "path". The water smelled like rotten eggs. The grill was disgusting. The shower was so small it was hard to use and then they put a wooden platform in the shower which made it hard to use because the wooden platform was about 1ft by 1 1/2ft and it was slimy, I felt like I was going to slip. The floors turned our feet and socks black they were so dirty. The door don't lock securely and the doorknob on the back completely fell off. On top of everything I received a nasty text message from the property owner using name calling and swearing saying my family trashed the cabin which of course wasn't true in anyway they just wanted to claim the cleaning cost to the trip insurance. I have never had such an unpleasant time. We were uncomfortable the whole time. Terrible 😞

Perfect little place to stay for the weekend. Always love staying someplace other than a boring hotel! Loved that the 4 teen boys could sit by by campfire at night. No phones- just jiffy pop, s’mores and talk about the fishing tournament the next day.

Relaxing cabin
We loved spending two nights in this cabin! The best part was the back patio. I was worried there would be evidence of previous animal occupants because it's a pet-friendly cabin, but NOT at all! It was so clean, no smell, no fur, nothing. Also, even though it's surrounded by nature, there were no bugs! Again, felt super clean and well-kept inside. We would definitely go back!

Beautiful peace
This was just what I wanted for a work-cation. Wi-Fi was great for my virtual teams meetings. Super quiet peaceful location. I enjoyed the birds and squirrels. It was very rainy but the front deck has an overhang so I could sit and watch the geese coming in. I could see the lake off between the trees. So cozy. Oven worked great for a chicken pot pie. Had everything I needed for a peaceful and refreshing retreat. Looking forward to going back again in warmer weather to make my way over to the lake. Host was excellent.
