Decent stay

The cabin itself has a nice layout with a quaint view and big beautiful windows. Unfortunately there is no hot tub as was in the listing, the pinball machines require quarters and overall the space is no well kept or stocked. We are a family of four and had one other family stay with us, but we didn’t have enough sheets, blankets or pillows. The location is great with an easy drive to giant city.

Neglected potential

All in all, probably fine if you don’t expect too much. The pictures don’t really reflect the current condition which has become somewhat dingy, tired and neglected. Beds and bathrooms are clean enough and has all the features that are listed. Tom seems like a nice guy. It’s just so disappointing to see the place have such potential and expecting it to be like the pictures and then find it in need of SO much attention. Once all the fees were added in, the cost seemed really high for what you got (maybe if your group is large it makes sense…). You may very well enjoy the experience…if your standards aren’t too high.

Family Winery Trip

There were 10 of us for a weekend winery getaway. The weather was chilly so we didn't use the lake but enjoyed the view and got some nice outdoor family photos. The cabin was within 6 miles to several wineries. In the evenings we enjoyed hanging out in the open kitchen/living room area. We had read that we should bring quarters for the pinball machines. There are 4 machines, but only one of them worked. That was really the only bummer. We would recommend this place to any groups wanting to spend time together!

The perfect cabin trip!

tl;dr: Amazing place, wonderful host. This is the perfect spot for a classic family lake vacation. You have all the water to yourself, and you can’t even see other houses. Feels very private and secluded but everything you need is close by. Tom is very responsive and thoughtful, he definitely knows how to set up a good time for the kids. Set up a fire for us and hid seashells for them There are lots of water/sand toys, floats, the zip line (even I rode it, it was A BLAST), pinball, foosball, pool table, and big tv. The cabin itself is lovely, not fussy, clean and comfortable, no knick knacks for my kids to break. The coop grocery nearby had lots of delicious treats to eat. The kids unanimously voted it was better than Florida, which is great cause it is about 15 hours less driving! Will definitely book again.
