Perfect Getaway
The cabin was even nicer than the description and pictures. It had everything we needed for a quick fall fishing trip. Tom's communications were very timely and helpful.

Great cabin for couple or small family
This was a great cabin for my wife and I (and our dog). The cabin was better than the pictures showed! Very clean with updated flooring and exterior. Full size tub and shower, which is rare for a small cabin. It was in a bay that is protected from the wind and seems more remote than it is. Its a short boat ride from the access point so easy to go int town if needed. We would definitely stay there again.

About the host

Why they chose this property

We knew the previous long-time owner of this property. Several of our family members worked for them over the years, helping with the island garden. Remnants of the gardens are still there, although they are getting overgrown. This cabin was used as his family's guest cabin. It was handcrafted by another Island resident's father in the late 1950's. Our daughter was greatly influenced by this family and they were helpful and encouraging, helping her choose her career. It then came into the family ownership and was used privately until Grandpa couldn't manage island life.

What makes this property unique

The cabin feels romantic- sorry fisherman- but it does! The quiet surroundings, the tall pines, the lake lapping softly at the rocks on the shore. The haunting calls of the loons just make all your cares disappear. Island living isn't for everyone, it is a unique way of life.
