The cabin was nice to stay in with a great view of Buff lake and the changing leaves. We even saw some beavers on the lake when we were out on the dock at sunset! The cabin was cute and the one issue we had was resolved. Light on some of the stocked amenities like sheets for the pull out, or we just couldn't find them! Overall the cabin was clean and a cute space to chill and play games and hangout!

View, view, view!!! This little cottage in the woods was comfortable and inviting. I brought my doodle-dog with me and we had a great time walking to the lake. The night time nature sounds were wonderful. But the best thing is the views of the lake dawn till dusk....So beautiful & relaxing.
