This was the perfect quiet getaway cabin for our family. Nice and secluded cabin with access to the water! Fantastic cozy backyard area with firepit. The cabin itself worked great for us; open concept allowed for more family interaction, and then also able to shut the door and allow the early risers to make coffee and take showers while the teenagers get to sleep in a bit and not be disturbed.
The cabin was a great blend of authentic rustic “cabin feel” along with some luxuries (A/C if needed, nice new addition with nice shower, laundry, etc…). Take the time to try the spring water down the road! The loons provided great company. Our golden retriever enjoyed the layout as well. It worked real well for having a dog. Great rental!

We spent 5 days at this beautiful cabin. It was just right for two of us and our 2 dogs. Very comfortable. It has a beautiful trail to the river with a nice place to sit and enjoy the views. Our grandson enjoyed swimming and looking for shells. Kayaking was amazing. Our children had the other 3 tent/camper sites. It was the perfect size for a wonderful family camping trip. The bathroom clean and beautiful. The outdoor kitchen fit our needs perfectly. The outdoor shower was great!! Very peaceful and quiet.

An excellent secluded glamping experience that our dogs loved as much as us. The cabin was very well maintained and has access to a clean bathroom/shower and a very easy to use kitchen area. A great fire pit for family fun and lots of space to kids and pets to play. We highly recommend it to anyone.

Absolutely incredible property! Such a privilege to get to stay at Bob’s place. The cabin and setting are truly heavenly. We saw one boat the entire week. Beavers, owls, herons, muskrats, birds of many species. It is so well set up for outdoor cooking & eating. The beach and kayaks made the lake feel so accessible and enjoyable. The condition of the cabin is so wonderfully preserved and the new bathroom is such a perk. Can’t wait to go back!

Jon's property is the definition of a secluded retreat - absolutely stunning. It is very easy to get to, perfect lodging accommodations and plenty of space for our 2 dogs to roam. Do be mindful of the season you are staying - wish we would have brought tick repellent dog spray. Can't wait to return outside of tick season.

Jon’s property was absolutely beautiful. Fully equipped with potable water sink, AC, fridge with small freezer, electric stove, and exceptionally clean outhouse. The sleeping loft was cozy but warm, would recommend bringing a small fan in the summer months. We unfortunately had to cut our
trip short due to the ticks, but that was no fault of the host and he was extremely accommodating. If you come to the cabin during tick season please be prepared. Overall this is a great Hipcamp and would definitely come back in the fall!

Husband, son, dogs, & I had a blast there. Found it very dog friendly! We lucked out with it being middle May and had the place to ourselves. The amenities were fantastic! It was so nice to glamp and have access to A/C and a fridge. We stayed in the cabin. Loved that there was bedding so we didn’t have to pack a bunch. Site was cool. Great location to parks. Food in towns nearby was good. Squirrel Cage was great for breakfast. Mosquitoes, ants, & ticks were bad unfortunately. The fire ring is shared among all sites. There is a fire ring at the river too. Kayaks were there which was cool. My dogs loved the path to the river. Great stay really enjoyed ourselves!
