Long weekend get-away

Cabins were very clean, service was great. We loved our stay! The only reason that I didn't give 5 stars is the wi-fi is not good and needs to be adressed. Great food at Clear Lake Bar, just steps away. We will be back for another stay.

It was a very easy check in/out process. The cabin was very clean and the property was beautiful. My only complaint was the WiFi service was very patchy, my phone said SOS the entire time. We would definitely stay here again. Oh and the bar within walking distance has really good food!

My sister and I needed a reasonable priced place to stay while caring for our brother who just had cancer surgery.

Felt overwhelmed, forgot when we were leaving for home and found that we needed to stay one more night and they were very accommodating. Not a problem! Very helpful and nice. We didn’t have to worry. We were able to focus on our brother’s needs.
The cabin is absolutely adorable!

Outside:Beautiful surroundings everywhere you look! It was March and a little cold outside. But there was ample heating supplied inside. We also got lucky with the weather!

Peaceful and Relaxing

The cabin and stay was about what we expected. The cabin was clean and well stocked with usable items. We rented a smaller studio cabin and it was just right for my wife and I. We enjoyed a quiet 3 nights and liked the area with the lakes and natural surroundings. The owners were always available to be of assistance if needed.
