What travelers say
A snapshot of guest ratings and stories behind the stay.
“Lovely countryside getaway! The cabins were quaint and cozy. They had every amenity imaginable and the property manager was very helpful in case anything else is needed. Beautiful views of the lake and surrounding woods from the windows! At night you can stargaze - we spotted a few satellites and shooting stars as well! Definitely worth a visit! One recommendation would be to visit in summer proper as the water was too cold when we were there.”
