Bachelor Party
What a wonderfully relaxing lakeside oasis! Everything was as advertised. Best aspects were un-ending amounts of firewood for the interior fireplace and outdoor fire pit. The sauna, dock and multiple sleeping accommodations (7 separate beds). Only feedback is that they need to replace the oven hot mitts and gas grill (no bottom to collect the grease). Otherwise the group of us would gladly return here again! Cheers 🍻

Fantastic escape from busy life
This was the perfect place to get away from hectic life of the cities. More than enough space for everyone, as well as spacious room for the dogs to roam. Was out of the inner city enough to receive peace and tranquility, but close enough to run into town to tour canal park and other tourist attractions. I will recommend this place to family and friends.

Winter Getaway
The cabin was everything our two families of 5 needed—enough space for sleeping and room for the kids to play. The sauna was a great feature and got a fair amount of use. All in all it was a wonderful time up north!

Family Christmas Gathering
Our party of 7 adults and 7 kids gathered to celebrate Christmas together, and this cabin was perfect for our needs. The three bedrooms on the main floor are beautiful! Two lofts with two full beds each are great for kids, but the stair/ladders are pretty steep for children who are afraid of heights. Luckily ours got over their fears quickly and were able to sleep up there just fine. *Beds were ok, but bring your own pillows if you are used to big fluffy ones. Large table overlooking the lake is connected to the livingroom area with a fireplace. Very warm and cozy, and we were able to all eat together for meals! The kitchen is small and lacks counterspace for meal prep, but the side breakfast nook with the large buffet/countertop worked well for spreading out our buffet style meals. Host/house manager responded immediately when we called with a question. Very accommodating and friendly! Highly recommend this place for large group gatherings.

Fun family weekend get-away!
Although there was a problem with the main heating source, we were plenty comfortable (even a little too warm) as there were multiple portable heaters scattered through the house and the fire place was going when we arrived. I was a bit nervous with all the heaters with our newly walking granddaughter, but she knew they were “hot” so she stayed clear of them. We had some issues with lights not working in the front porch, but management was quick to get back to us guiding us to some extra lighting. The house was beautifully decorated for the holidays which made our weekend even more special! The lodge is rustic and noise carries easily through the house, but we loved the rustic atmosphere. My only complaint was from some rude neighbors across the bay making negative comments about “VRBO guests” and screaming obscenities at someone’s barking dog.

Mini Family Getaway
This was our first whole family trip. It definitely exceeded my expectations. The cabin is in a perfect location, secluded but close enough to get to a store if needed. There was plenty of space for our dog to run around and the house was big enough that it didn't feel as if we were all on top of one another.
