Peaceful easy feeling. Laid back living at its best.
Positive:
We loved the porch swing. Had our coffee there every morning, watching the hummingbirds drink and other birds eat seed.
Negative:
It needed an empty cabinet for dry goods. They had glasses for everything in two of them. Loved the big microwave and the dishwasher.
I would definitely return again
Positive:
The best experience I’ve had in a long time. Very well kept. The resort was nice and everything I needed was on hand… Very nice amd cozy
This was our second stay at the cabin, we went back the second time because we enjoyed it so much
This was our second stay at the cabin, we went back the second time because we enjoyed it so much! The only thing it was lacking was a frying pan but we made do! Definitely worth staying at!
Very nice place with a very nice host
Very nice place with a very nice host. We unfortunately had medical issues come up the first night and had to leave the next morning so we only got to stay one out of three night. Maybe we will get another chance to visit . Wish there was some kind of partial refund $700 pius for one night was hard ti swallow.

Lovely stay
Lovely stay! So clean, peaceful, and cozy. We felt right at home. Leigh was so helpful. We played board games & watched DVD’s, used binoculars to bird-watch, walked to the lake, and spent time on the porch. Exactly what we needed. ❣️😊
We had a few hiccups with some of the amenities, seems like they may have had a power outage
We had a few hiccups with some of the amenities, seems like they may have had a power outage. They were able to come out and fix everything the next day though. Quiet area with nice outdoor seating.
