Had a wonderful week with a family of 6 and 2 dogs at Debbie’s cabin. The waterfront with dock was great and the water pristine. Special thanks to Debbie for accommodating our last minute emergency and allow us to bring a second dog. Would definitely book again!

Best week of the year so far. This place was wonderful. I was immediately comfortable in the kitchen where I pretty much stayed the whole time, much to my delight. This was peppered with dips in the lake, campfires, moss walks, and hammock hangs. It was perfect. We were four adults and two children and every one of us had a wonderful time.
