    The house was fully stocked with almost anything you could need. The woodstove was especially nice to warm up and dry out snow gear after a day of snowmobiling. The cabin was VERY clean, and we loved all of the scavenger hunts and other activities she had for kids.

    This property was awesome!! It was well stocked with everything we could need for our weekend stay our friends and 3 boys ages 9-11. The boys had no much fun staying in the bunk room, fishing on the dock and kayaking in the lake! What a cozy family home! Thanks you!

    This beautiful clean cottage on the lake was absolutely perfect. We've been fortunate enough to have stayed at many nice places in the past, and this place ranks right up with the best of them. From the time we pulled into the driveway it fealt like home. The entire weekend was excellent. Christie was so helpfull with booking, and just a pleasure to work with on a couple of the questions we had. I only wish we had more time to utilize everything the cottage has to offer. We will definitely be back. Thank you Christie for making our Fall getaway a reality.

    The property is Fantastic!! Just like we expected and more! Was great to stay next to the home my parents had owned for over 21 years and where we had many many fun memories on the lake through the years with our children and family! From paddle boating, SUP boards, kayaks, campfires, sunbathing, snorkeling, playing games and visiting with old friends - great time! The place was well stocked with everything you needed, comfortable and well organized information provided. I could go on and on with all the positives! We will definitely be coming back!!! ❤️

    From the beginning everything with this trip went very well. I screwed up and booked under an old account causing Christie to have to work with VRBO to get it deleted. She was very quick replies. Upon arrival everything was as expected. They go over the top accommodating families. There were ton of games and even indoor and outdoor scavenger hunts. Huge win. We have 5 kids to entertain after skiing. Would definitely rent again. Happy Cabin for the WIN!!!

    From start to finish my experience was amazing. Never had that great of open communication with a booker before. All my questions and concerns were answered in a timely manner. Wish all bookers were like Christine.

    Our family definitely enjoyed our stay at this property. The house is nicely tucked into large pine trees, overlooking a clear, beautiful lake. The house has nice separation between sleeping quarters. There were plenty of beds, which were all comfortable. The primary family room has a great cozy, northern feel with great views of the lake. The proximity to town was great, far enough away to have peace and quiet but close enough to drive multiple times a day. The detail and amenities provided by the hosting family were top notch. Thanks!

    The listing pictures don’t make any justice in how cozy and well maintain the cabin is. We are a family of 10 adults and it was able to accommodate all and even we had extra beds. The lake beautiful cristal clear water and all the water toys gave us a wonderful family time. Fire pit and outdoor games as well. Very nice stay. I will come back to this cabin for sure.
