We really enjoyed our stay. The cabin had the basics needed to cook our meals. We brought blankets but there were enough in the cabin to get by had we forgotten. Tom was amazing and great to communicate with. Will stay again if we are in the area

It was our first time in this area, and we loved it! It's so quiet and nice. There are so much to do as a family, like parks, the lake is right in front just crossing the street. It's a little town, but u can fine anything u need.
Tom, the owner was super friendly and makes us feel like home.
I would definitely recommend this place and for sure we'll come here for our next vacations.

I was looking for a place to stay for 1 night with the kids. We rented cottage #2. It was exceptionally clean, cozy, adorable and affordable. Great location right across from the water. The cottage had everything we needed. The man running the place was super friendly and very attentive to our needs. The kids loved it and we will definitely go here again ❤️

Tom was wonderful. He made our vacation very enjoyable by being available to us when we needed him. He works hard to keep customers happy. We witnessed it with other vacationers as well. The cabins are pretty but could use some updating. Couch was not useable but chair and beds were comfortable.
