We loved the layout of the house. It’s very cozy and relaxing. We even went ice fishing on the lake and caught 3 bass! All in all we had a great time and highly recommend staying here.

Such a cute little home on the water! Very spacious while still feeling so cozy. Us as well as my dog enjoyed the view from the deck. Would definitely consider rebooking in the warmer months to use the water toys.
