Full Cabin: 21 Steps to the Lake! PET FRIENDLY!

The Wolf Cabin is 21 steps from the lake. It features 2 bedrooms, a bathroom and a full kitchen with gas stove, microwave, refrigerator, toaster, drip coffee maker and enough cooking utensils, dishes and flatware to get you by. There is a small dining table and a futon with an armchair for you to relax in too. We are a pet friendly resort, so please bring your furry friends along!
1 GB of WiFi works all the way to the end of the dock, and there’s also Roku Television with Spectrum.
It also has a NEW live edge countertop, sink and backsplash! We also added new fans to each bedroom. And do provide towels and linens for the beds now too!
We are a pet friendly resort, so please bring your furry friends along! There will be a fee of $25/pet/night charged for the stay of our furry friends.
Outside there is a picnic table, Weber Charcoal Grill, and a couple of chairs.
Shared amenities are the beach, dock, fire pit, kayaks, tetherball, shuffleboard, and a fish cleaning station. There is plenty of private parking right across the street for your vehicles and trailers.

beautiful beach and lake view!
was as described, wifi and tv streaming could be better, we just watched tv shows on our iPad and used our own data, what was supplied might have reached the dock but you couldn't do anything with it lol! the party store within walking distance had everything we needed plus, awesome pizza breakfast sandwiches and the meat market 5 miles away was unbelievably awesome!

Wonderful family getaway
We stayed at the property for 4 nights and 5 days. Tom (the owner) stopped by on day of check in to make sure we had all we needed. We loved the close access to water and beach and the kids were up and swimming within minutes of waking each day! The shared ammenities of the fire pit, dock and playscape was great! The cabin was well stocked and.EXTREMELY clean upon arrival. We will definitely stay here again!
