Log Cabin w/ Clawfoot Tub & Starry Nights

CharisRating, 5 stars2 months ago

This is a perfect little cottage near the lake. It had everything we needed, including nice outdoor patio spaces for eating and a big firepit. You can't see much of the lake from the cottage, but it's easy to get to - across a quiet road and down a very long flight of stairs. There's a nice big dock for fishing, swimming, star gazing at night, boating, and just relaxing and enjoying the view (it's a particularly scenic section of the lake because there is no development on the other side of the water - just forest!). We loved having access to kayaks and enjoyed fishing off the dock. Would love to return in summer when we can swim and do even more water activities!

HotTub! FirePit, Private Pond, GameRoom! Slps12+

PatriciaRating, 5 stars2 days ago

Amazing get away to spend time with our grown kids and their families. Lots to do with the game room, fire pit, kayaks, fishing, etc… this location is pet friendly and had a very large fenced in porch with the dogs loved. We took walks on the winding country roads and met minimal cars. But those that did drive by met us with a wave and a smile. One car stopped to admire our pets and welcome us to the area and said how thankful they were to have guests in the area. We will definitely make this an annual stay.

Love the a-frame with a nice view! It was quiet and very peaceful. The pond was nice and relaxing. The host made sure everything worked, including the hot tub which was ready to go. Wish the weather was nicer for our stay, we’d love to use the smokeless fire pit that was available. Allison was very kind and extremely responsive. Thank you for the nice and relaxing escape.
