Chuck’s cabin is amazing. The view is beautiful. The cabin is stocked with just about everything you would need. Chuck took us down to the cabin, showed us around and how to start the generator. It was an all around awesome experience and we can’t wait to come back when it’s warm to do some exploring and porch sitting!

Incredible setting right on the Maumee River with easy access to nice metropark hikes. We had wind chills of -20 during our stay but still managed to stay cozy with the wood fired stove. Excited to come back during the summer!

Absolutely perfect! Nothing be good things to be said. Everything ran as it should & it was just what we needed! We encountered multiple deer & that was cool to watch. Will definitely be coming back & hopefully have better weather!

Great for the camper I am not.
Everything went great! My brother is a camper and I am not. This was the perfect middle ground for us. They provide more things than listed and that made for fun surprises. The welcome book provides much more information than we had before arriving. The decor is so fun! We didn't have neighbors, but total privacy. We fished out on the boat and even foraged for food. My dog loved swimming in the water and doesn't smell like a lake!! The host and hostess were so accommodating and pleasant. We will definitely be back.
