Weekend Trip to Lakeside Point

The property was absolutely amazing! Very clean, few bugs which we were thankful for, and the view of the sunset was absolutely breathtaking! The bath house is a great addition; very roomy and water as hot as you'd like! The inside of the cabin had a very rustic charm to it which I loved! The owner stopped by amd was the nicest lady. We will definitely be returning to this property.

Loved the cabin and the location, the host was really appreciative and kind. We checked in late but the host didn't mind it at all. The night sight was also beautiful. The cabin was exactly as advertised and everything was clean. Would definitely recommend this everyone.

This place was absolutely beautiful! When we first turned onto the property, the views were breathtaking—the mountains, the water, and the lush greenery all around. We stayed in the tiny cabin, which doesn’t look like much from the outside but is incredibly cozy and charming on the inside. It had a very comfy bed, a microwave, a refrigerator, a coffee maker, and a full bathroom. If you’re looking for a sweet little cabin getaway where you can be surrounded by nature but still have the comfort of a roof over your head, this is perfect! It’s the perfect opportunity to really unplug and enjoy some quality time with your partner or family. Plus we saw a deer, some rabbits, an eagle and lots of cute birds. The hosts were wonderful and very accommodating. We absolutely loved the whole experience and would highly recommend it to anyone considering staying here!

This has absolutely stunning views! We were making jokes about not telling a soul about this place so people don’t ruin it haha…but if you’re nearby totally worth it! Actually it’s worth it even if you have not got a reason to be nearby

Being so close to the water was pretty amazing, the camp was clean and quiet and exactly what I was looking for in a no frills experience. Having the one site restrooms (that were very clean) was a plus! Will be back in the future.
