Wonderful Family Getaway!
Our family had a fabulous time at this cabin! With 16 people it can be hard to find places that "fit" just right, but this cabin had everything we needed! Enough room to spread out, big table for us all to eat together, multiple levels for kids that needed naps, multiple refrigerators and washers/dryers, and a great swimming area around the dock! Would definitely book here again as we made some amazing memories!

Great place to stay.
We stayed for a family new years weekend. Everything was great. The only thing was we walked into the house that was 50 degrees. Called and i was told where all the thermostats were. We used both fireplaces to get heat also. Will stay again.

We had a wonderful time at this house. The kids enjoyed the game room and all the water activities. The boat was a hit. I would defiantly come back. I loved that the house is on a smaller lake and lots of room outside for the kids to play.

Had a great time
Property was very clean and cozy for our annual family Christmas get together. Was even decorated tastefully with Christmas decorations and trees. Marjorie was very accommodating and genuinely interested in making our stay very pleasant. She was easy to get ahold of when we had questions and responded almost immediately. Would definitely recommend this property and plan on staying there again.

Awesome stay!
Check in was a breeze. Marjorie is very communicative and friendly. The house is so spacious and the 'extras' such as the table tennis/pool table, board games, bikes, etc was such a big hit with the group. Everything went so smoothly the group is already talking about when we can stay here again! Thanks for a relaxing weekend!! Would recommend this place 100%...

Perfect setting for our large family gathering
We really enjoyed our family weekend together at your home this December. We filled every bed and were grateful to the many spaces for family togather to play pool, ping pong, or board games; piece puzzles, watch movies, or cook. Accommodations were nice, house was well stocked, and beds were comfortable. Booking and check in went smoothly and Marjorie responded to all our questions about the house or area. We hope to come again!.

Great property
We stayed for a large family snowmobile trip (19 total adults/children). The property was perfect, it was clean, spacious, and stocked with all the necessary supplies one would need. There is plenty of parking for several vehicles and large trailers and the trails were easily accessible from the cabin. Communication was great, Marjorie quickly responded to any questions asked.
