We loved our stay at this lakefront cabin! Beautiful, quiet view of the water and forest! The cabin is old school rustic charm, a true mountain ambiance. We loved sitting on the front deck, drinking our morning coffee while the rising sun glistened on the lake.Melissa, the host, is wonderful and welcoming! We will definitely return!

6 / 10Average·Jul 2026
What makes staying at this rustic, worn and tired cabin worth the stay: the lake view. There were a lot and I mean a lot of spider webs throughout the cabin. The backyard was overgrown making it not pet or kid friendly. The door knows are placed soo close to the edge of the door ones fingers do indeed get smashed. The 2nd ..toilet/shower room, the shower door doesn't close without slamming it. Toilets are very low and the tub is a bit dangerous to step into. The cabin is roomy and has 4 beds, rollaway bed and a hideaway bed. There are some things that need fixing, updating and cleaned. When checking in the host couldn't find our reservation so I called the number of whomever was texting me. It was an odd process to say the least. If you're going to cook bring your own kitchen ware as there is nylon. I don't use synthetic items for my food, especially when cooking the items. Overall a 10 for view and quiet area *except for the parks people weedwhacking right out front. A 7 for interior and 7 for host communication.
