A Serene Getaway in the Woods with Modern Comforts
We stayed in this beautifully updated cabin nestled in the woods, overlooking a gorgeous lake, for four days. The cabin offered us a perfect blend of seclusion and tranquility. We had never been here and weren't sure what to expect. When we arrived, it was very clean and everything felt new and modern, while retaining a bit of the rustic cabin feel that we wanted. The remodeled kitchen and two bathrooms were especially impressive. The beds were comfortable with plenty of extra pillows. The hosts were friendly, responsive and answered our questions promptly. The location was great. When we weren't hanging out and enjoying the view, we took a few quick trips to see some sites like Mission Point Lighthouse and the vineyards on Old Mission Peninsula. It's a peaceful retreat for friends, couples, families. Next time, we will be sure to rent one of their pontoons!

Beautiful Property. Great Location.
My family and I rented this home for a few days. Our kids are 14 and 16. A few highlights: -This home is no longer a log cabin. The sun-room was converted to a bedroom. -It lacked a few amenities such as extra trash bags and extra towels. The hand soap in one of the bathrooms was extremely watered down. -The layout is great and every room was well maintained. -The home was really clean. -The kitchen was stocked enough to get you by. They have a charcoal grill, charcoal fluid and lighter, dishes, pots and pans, coffee, creamer, sugar and coffee maker. -If you’re bringing kids, bring some floats and other beach toys -The fire pit was nice and outside seating area -Outside property was nice and views of the lake We would definitely come back. The home and property was great! I think the property is geared more towards adults but if you pack some beach toys, the kiddos could have a great time too.

Just what we were listening ok’ing for
Beautiful setting for a last-minute getaway. The place was clean and comfortable. The beds were SO comfortable! My son just loved sleeping in the bunds under the eaves with a great view of the lake. The kitchen was simple but had everything we needed to cook meals. Only thing we missed is there was no sponge or brush for washing dishes but we improvised.

Very rustic, but comfortable. Outside of cabin a bit rough but inside was clean.
comfortable place to come back to after long days on the go. Quite rustic in the woods feel.
