Great place overall, but an outbreak of yellow jackets limited our positive experience. They were particularly bad around the wet shoreline. There were thousands in that area. Must have been thirsty!

We love this place, but are sad to see there is a lack of maintenance and poorly cleaned.

Beautiful quiet location and cabin with all conveniences. Only downside is a critter gnawing underneath the cabin, either under the bathroom or closet.

I am completely obsessed with the view from the picnic area overlooking the lake. This cabin has electric lights, heaters, hot running water, a stove, a refrigerator, and the smallest bathtub I have ever seen. All of this makes it a great spot to take people who like the outdoors but aren't too keen on 'roughing it'. Only issue we had was the squirrels living in the walls, they are LOUD at 5am just chewing the walls and scrambling about!! I look forward to coming again, hopefully with fewer critters inside the walls.

A few indoor chipmunks but otherwise a fun time. The location is stellar. I look forward to staying again!
