This was the perfect little cabin for some rest and relaxation. The extra AC unit helps it get nice and cold at bedtime, which we enjoy. It was extremely clean as well. The sunset was nice over the lake and we sat on the deck in the evening and in the morning with coffee.

Family vacation

Great place to stay and very clean. Easy access to the river with dock and boathouse that had power and running water. Bob was friendly and quick to answer any questions I had. Neighbor's were friendly. We truly enjoyed our stay and hope to return again! My little boy also enjoyed the friendly neighborhood ducks that would come visit
