Wonderful Cabin!
2nd time staying at this property and loved it again. Downstairs flooring and bathroom nicely updated since last visit. The lake access is perfect for swimming - nice slow decent and nothing but sand until about 30ft past the end of the dock. Highly recommend!

Stay on Lake Mary
We loved our stay at this cabin! The kitchen had everything we needed, the kids loved the extra games in the closet and the beach items. We would definitely stay here again. Everything was very clean! Only thing i would recommend replacing/fixing is the front screen door. It is very difficult to close and we found ourselves walking around to the basement door to avoid it. Definitely not a deal breaker though and we would recommend!

Quiet, super clean, and beautiful scenery
We stayed 3 nights and we were not disappointed at all. The lake wasn't crazy busy and loud. Neighbors weren't loud. The house was super clean, organized, and well decorated. Everything was as advertised. There were some surprise water toys in the boat house we didnt realize we would have access to. The kids loved playing in thr lake and swimming in the lake. Our son was a little disappointed the water wasnt very deep at the end of the dock so he couldn't really fish from there. All in all it was a great experience and we will absolutely stay there again when we're in the area if its available.

Cozy Winter Weekend
A friend and I stayed at this cabin for a long weekend in March. We greatly enjoyed the lake views, seating area in the master bedroom, and the basement with the fireplace! The property was cozy! We had a question about a couple of things and the owner got back to us promptly.

Wonderful beach and beautiful sunsets
Wonderful cabin and would love to rent again. Wonderful sandy beach, and very shallow out to about 40yds - perfect for small children. Only thing that would have made it better would have been having a boat lift. Thank you for sharing your home!

Beautiful lake getaway
We enjoyed everything this lake home had to offer - from taking morning walks around the lake to lounging by the water on the private beach. This home is a perfect spot and comes equipped with everything. During the day we took the kayaks, paddle board, peddle boat and inner tubes out into the water. At night we enjoyed grilling by the shore, making smores in the brand new fire pit, playing bags and watching the sunset. This cabin had it all! We look forward to returning next year!

A little piece of heaven!
We had a wonderful time during our stay here. It is such a relaxing, inviting home, and they had everything we could have wanted or needed. Unfortunately (or fortunately) the lake was still mostly frozen over, so we weren't able to utilize the dock, but the kids had a great time playing on the beach and throwing thin pieces of ice on the bigger pieces of ice in the morning. It was an easy place to bring kids, as there are numerous views inside and also on the patio outside where you can just sit back and watch them outside. The view is incredible, and the home very comfortable. The decor made me feel like home, and you can tell they put a lot of thought into it. Wonderful, wonderful time! I'd highly recommend it! Thank you!!

Nice
Everything was great. There was a very strong skunk smell which deterred us from being outside for too long at a time. The only difficult issue for us was checking out with the dishes and towels packed away. We could see them being clean and dry but waiting around to have them back into cupboards and drawers was hard.

Fantastic!
We love coming here. The house is so nicely setup. It is so easy to come here with so much furnished. The guys love the dock for there boats. The closeness to the city makes shopping and going for bait very easy. The guys had a great time fishing. The gals enjoyed going shopping, reading and just relaxing.

Wonderful Cabin!
We are a group of 8(4 couples) 3 couples are retired. Was very pleased with the set up of the house. With the upper level bedrooms no one was bothered with getting woke up of if wanted some quit time. The kitchen was set up great. The view of the lake was beautiful. Location to Alexandria was great for us girls to go shopping and adventuring. The guys found fishing better when the moon came up but that can change with the dates you are staying. Neighbors were friendly when we were outside. We liked it so much we are already booked for next year. Linda and David Karels

Spectacular place!!!! Very impressed!!
We were there first week in June. Had an absolute wonderful time! Loved the kayaks! Tons of space. The lake was pristine! Will definitely stay here again in future. One draw back is.... if you don't have your own boat it will be difficult finding one to rent on the lake. No one (resort) will rent there boats out unless you're stay at their facility. Other than that, everything was perfect! Enjoyed having private beach!
