This property is amazing; I can't say enough about the hospitality of our hosts, Thom & Karen. They go out of their way to make you feel welcome; the cabin is beautifully appointed with all the little details; you have to see it in person to really appreciate it. The pics are an understatement. There's so much to say so I'll just cover it in categories:
Atmosphere: 5/5
The place was spotless when we arrived, kept at a cool temp by the oscillating fan; cozy lighting; soft music playing from the corner HDTV.
Amenities: 5/5
Everything you could possibly need, and more, is included in this cabin. Kitchen fully stocked with dishes, utensils, wine opener, scissors, lighter, etc. Bathroom stocked w/little odds & ends. Fishing boat with 15hp motor. For such a small "studio" cabin there's plenty of space to rig the rods, relax, sprawl out. We never felt cramped. There is no A/C (to my knowledge) but we didn't need it. The trees provide lots of shade so there isn't much "greenhouse effect," and the oscillating fan kept the air circulating & comfortable.
Service: 5/5
If I could give it more stars, I would. Our gracious hosts stay in the house nextdoor; not only did they give us a warm welcome, but they were available for assistance during our stay. When we arrived they looked over our map of the lakes and suggested some fishing spots. Thom also took us out in the Ranger for a ~30 min. tour. At one point my husband couldn't keep the boat motor running, and Thom came out back and helped him get the hang of the throttle. It was smooth sailing from there. At another point we ran low on gas in the middle of a neighboring lake, and Thom came out in the Ranger and refueled it. The best part was that he didn't seem to mind and never made us feel like we were imposing. One night they invited us to sit around the campfire, but we had dinner reservations. When we got back from dinner, they'd left a low fire burning, and 2 chairs. On our back patio was a small table with marshmallows graham crackers, and chocolate for making S'mores!
We didn't catch a single fish during our entire stay, and still had one of the best vacations of our lives. Our only regret was that we spent so much time out on the lakes that we barely had time to enjoy the dreamy cabin.
I definitely recommend this place. If you stay here, please be kind and courteous to your hosts bc they are wonderful people who deserve nothing less! Also, take good care of the cabin bc we will be back! ;) Lol.
