    We gathered as a family of 9 for a week of celebrating a 70th birthday. The cabin was everything I wished for and more! Spacious and comfortable, super clean and beautiful with huge window overlooking the lake.Ivy, the owner responded quickly to all of our questions and didn't mind a call when the we couldn't figure things out. If you are bringing a baby/toddler , you need to bring a portacrib and a high chair and baby life jacket.Thanks for a wonderful week!

    We all really enjoyed our stay. Very comfortable home. Ivy was very responsive when we had questions. My family and I all agree that we would definitely consider staying again.

    Beautiful place with amazing view. Clean and well stocked. Had some confusion on the digital locks that was 100% my fault but the owners were all over it. Only draw back is the road to get to the cabin is in poor condition. It’s accessible just rough

    Overall very nice!! The August unlock feature was a little cumbersome having to sign up for an application, other than that all good.

    Words cannot describe the amazing time we had at Bay Lake! It was so beautiful inside and out! The house was immaculate and so comfortable for our family of 7, we were missing 2 from our family who couldn't make it, but could have easily accommodated them! It was a marvelous get away for our family, we played games, did puzzles, baked cookies and wonderful dinners (in the more than fully equipped kitchen), went sledding, took long walks along the icy lake shore and had a bonfire under a beautiful starry sky on New Year's Eve! We could not be more thankful to Ivy and Craig for sharing their beautiful home with us! They were so kind and easy to communicate with, even calling to check on us as we drove up under snowy conditions! The attention to detail and provisions available in the house were amazing! Our only hope now is to secure some time in the summer to experience this amazing place during a different season! Thank-you, Thank-you, Thank-you Ivy and Craig! We had an absolutely magical time!

    The cabin was superb and easily fit 7 adults with room to stretch. The cabin is wonderful and has touches of modern connected life everywhere. This came in very handy for our group as it rained all weekend, stoping us from getting in the fishing hours we wanted. While we could not be on the lake the whole time, we were comfortable and relaxed none the less. I would recommend this location for anyone looking to truly glamp, or thoughts who want a place that serves the fishing fool as well as the cabin book reader.

    The cabin is amazing, with plenty of space for our older teens to spread out…and the projection TV in the basement was perfect for the Olympics! The cabin was extremely clean, the beds and numerous seating options were very comfortable and the kitchen was very well stocked. Ivy and Craig were the most proactive and responsive hosts we’ve experienced, they were genuinely concerned our stay was comfortable and that we were happy. The lake has many fun nooks and crannies to explore by boat and we really enjoyed kayaking too. Swimming off the boat was perfect, fishing was good off the dock and boat. If there is one flaw to be had, it’s that the shore off the dock is weedy and has a muck bottom. Not a big deal for us as our kids are old enough to just head for deeper water or swim off the boat, but it might be a factor for some families.
