Lakeview splendor
August 2025
MiOwn Cabin was exceptionally clean, comfortable, and the perfect size for two people. The view from the living room window was both peaceful and beautiful, adding to the relaxing atmosphere. The two kayaks were a fantastic bonus — we used them every morning, and were thrilled to be greeted by eagles and their fledglings each time. A truly special experience!

Sweet cabin
October 2023
We enjoyed the easy accessibility to the lake and the kayaks. Beautiful hiking nearby. Owner was very helpful and responsive. Probably a 5-star for the price. Our only reasons for 4 are lack of private feeling when others are in the house right in front and not a comfy outdoor space. That said, it really is a sweet spot and we enjoyed ourselves.

Very nice cottage for 2

Great cottage on the lake. Had everything we needed. The owners left a bottle of wine that we enjoyed. It was such a relaxing place to unwind. Kayaks were quite stable. Thank you.

An idyllic spot to get away from it all in the early fall!
January 2021
The Miown Cabin was the perfect place for me to get away from the stresses of the Covid world for a few days and enjoy kayaking on the lake and reading. The cabin was very comfortable and offered all the amenities needed as well as a great view. Having the kayaks right there with easy access into the lake was wonderful. I also loved making a fire in the outdoor firepit while enjoying a nightcap.
