This property is one of our family favorites! The house was very spacious, clean and everything well-labeled. It had everything we could have needed or wanted and so much more. The play area for kids was awesome! We had great weather during our stay so didn't even get to use the movie area or the games in the shed. Lots of outside seating areas. Spacious bedrooms. The new beach area was a great addition. Lots of room on the docks to fish as well. Fun was had on the swan pedal boat. Excellent and speedy communication with the owner. I'd give this a 10 star review if I could!

The Lodge at Cabin 8 retreats is absolutely amazing! There are so many fun things to do. From fishing, kayaking and paddle boarding, swimming, playing yard games and visiting nearby towns for some shopping, there is truly something for everyone to enjoy. Our group loved the endless ways to get our morning caffeine fix, making slushies and enjoying popcorn in the downstairs theater. Thank you, Cabin 8 Retreats, for sharing this amazing space.

The cabin worked very well for us with 5 bedrooms and 4 bathrooms. Great place for kids. Lots of toys and games to keep them occupied. Also, olenty of toys for the adults. We enjoyed the fireworks around the lake. We would definitely rent here again if it's available.

Check in was simple, very easy to reach the owners, clear instructions. House was clean, very spacious and newly updated, tasteful decor. Well stocked kitchen, very comfy beds, game room at the house and across the road was so handy. There is tons to do for kids. The coffee bar and s’mores station is a really nice touch! Highly recommend!
