Girl’s 60th birthday trip
Great location with beautiful views. It was nice to have all the living space on one level. Just 4 steps to get in or out. Best part of the cabin is the great screened in porch overlooking the lake and cove. We only had a few minor issues. Some of the chairs on the porch were wonky and need to be thrown out. We found out the hard way they were broken. Then there were no directions for how to turn on the porch lights, but we got a fairly quick response and were able to use them on our second and third nights. Overall, a great weekend! I would definitely come back!

Great time by the lake
Myself, my husband, our daughter, son-in-law, and youngest son spent a week here at Mom's Cabin. The location was perfect. Close to stores and restaurants, but feels secluded and private. We saw the deer everyday, along with geese, ducks and a crane. The cabin was very spacious. It was well stocked. The place reminded us of our own family cabin. We all felt like kids again.

The porch was so nice being screened in, especially in the Summertime. Family enjoyed the dock, fishing and swimming and kayaking to the island. Mom’s Cabin is a great place to stay.

The perfect family getaway.
Mom's Cabin was the ideal getaway for me and my two boys. We wanted the feel of a cabin with all the necessary amenities. Great dock for fishing, swimming and relaxing. Next time I rent Mom's Cabin I will definitely rent a boat, the dock is very capable of this. Thank you so much for letting us enjoy a family weekend at your cabin. We will see you again. Danny D

Tucked Away Paradise
This sweet house is the perfect, simple, getaway from it all. My family and I lived on the dock and the amazing porch. The home had it all with a loaded kitchen filled with cooking supplies, games, puzzles, outdoor games, chairs, chairs, chairs. The spot is kept hidden back in the woods so you truly feel left alone to just enjoy the peace of nature and explore the property. The fenced area is perfect for anyone worried about little ones around the water. The deer greeted us several times a day. The blue herons and ducks often lingered to check us out. The home is older, but kept very clean and the property very well maintained. We wished we had more time to stay!

Great setting , house is nice, but the best part was screened in porch. Enjoyed it so much! Our bed was fine but my daughter and son in law did not like the blow up matress on top of a smaller box spring. It was supposed to be a king bed but ?? Otherwise a nice gathering place for us.

Great big screened in porch with lots of tables and chairs to hang out, talk and enjoy the gorgeous view of the lake. Lots of games and a very well stocked place with just about everything you need. Everyone that came loved the whole place! Owner got back immediately with all questions we had. Definitely recommend. Deer were everywhere! So nice and cozy!!

Wonderful stay!
We had a very enjoyable stay! Our family of 6 had plenty of room, and the outside area is fantastic! My husband caught plenty of fish off the dock. I will say that I did go out and buy a few extra pots and pans because I only found one pan and pot. There is only one TV in the living room, so if your one who likes to watch TV while laying down it doesn’t have one. But overall it’sa great place to stay and we will definitely come back!!!

Great week on the lake
Setting of the cabin is beautiful. The house was comfortable and well stocked. The second bedroom lacked window screens and provided an inferior mattress. We had a pleasant, relaxing vacation at his cabin. Thanks you.

2 week get away
The location was great. The overall feel was like a camp. The property could use a little more love. Slightly run down. Overalll clean but oven and other item could use a better cleaning. Since we stayed 2 weeks had to go to the laundry mat. Washer and dryer would of been great. For the price it was good.
