Secluded and serene. Classic log cabin deep in the woods. Great spot for relaxing with various outdoor activities available when you open the door.
Hike through the forest, Sit by a roaring fire, watch falling stars, catch fish all day, go for an ATV spin on endless trails or just relax in the tranquility of two double Kayaks or two single Kayaks enjoying nature at it's finest while listening to the loons and bird watching.

Cool place in the woods, owner is great to deal with very easy going and answers question right away, this is a true cabin in the woods, he set up really good Wi-Fi.
Beautiful private nature lot on a quiet, small lake with very few cottages. The fishing was great and the host was easy to get ahold of and very helpful.
We really enjoyed our stay. The trees afforded lots of privacy from nearby cottages and the lake was pretty quiet (we saw more wildlife than people on the water, including a doe and her fawn by the water and a mother loon with her two babies). There were plenty of watercraft available to keep us busy and entertained during the day, and even though the temps were pretty cool overall, the lake was warm and we had tons of fun swimming. The host communicated promptly and left clear directions. He reached out to let us know the fire ban was lifted so we were able to have a fire on our last night. I would recommend this cottage for anyone looking for a quiet and fun getaway on the lake!
We just returned from the most incredible stay at this stunning cottage by the lake, and we’re already counting down the days until we can go back! Everything about our experience was perfect—from the location to the amenities to the warm, welcoming hospitality.Me, my husband, our 9 year old, our lab too!perfect for the 3 of us :)The cottage itself is absolutely beautiful—thoughtfully designed, extremely cozy, and impeccably clean. Every detail has been considered, from the luxurious beds (truly the most comfortable we’ve ever slept in!) to the top-notch appliances, including an espresso maker, coffee machine, air fryer, and everything else you could possibly need for a relaxing stay. The interior feels like a warm hug, and the views… breathtaking. Waking up to the shimmering lake and ending the night under a blanket of a million stars was pure magic.Our days were filled with swimming, fishing, paddle boating, and relaxing by the firepit in the evenings, and reading on the deck!Dave is an exquisite host—attentive, kind, and incredibly helpful. He went above and beyond, providing detailed recommendations not just for enjoying the cottage, but also for exploring the surrounding area and making the most of our stay.We absolutely loved it and would come back in a heartbeat. It was everything we hoped for and more. If you're looking for the perfect escape into nature without sacrificing comfort and style—this is it. Don’t hesitate. Just book it!
Went with my Grandson(9) had a great time. Lovely property, fishing, swimming etc. Had a great time!!!!
Will return again.

Lots of potential
The cottage had a lovely rustic feel on a nice quiet lake. There is a lot of potential to this place.
We had issues with the plumbing while we were there. David did compensate us for the issues.
If you love the feel of a wooden floor under your feet, the sound of a kayak paddle splashing into the water, the sound of loons in the night, then this is the place for you. It’s a nature lovers’ kind of cottage, where you can truly unplug and appreciate the quiet. It has handy amenities like a griddle, spices and any utensil you could hope for. Thank you David for sharing your slice of paradise! Lorna, Dave and Bennett
It’s a nice spot. It needs a little maintenance but we weren’t looking for luxury we were there to fish and enjoy the outdoors. The fishing was great, overall we had a great time.
We really enjoyed our stay at the log cabin. Nice drive down a dirt road that has some rocks to watch out for but leads to a great spot. The cabin itself is spacious and stocked with everything you need for a long stay. Lots of animal sounds at night and some sightings during the day. The lake is clear and perfect for kayaking/swimming. Will definitely be coming back very soon - 100% recommend this listing.

Not what it seems
The listing was very misleading. Upon arrival, we found the only bathroom sink to be not working correctly, it spewed water when turned on, the only shower faucet leaked and the toilet ran which we were instructed to turn off the valve for that. As we had booked for 4 days, my family needed to be able to wash at some point but couldn't so by the end of the week we were all in serious need of a shower and very uncomfortable. This is a huge hygienic problem which should have been repaired before being rented to us as we booked back in April. The owner informed us upon arrival, with written instructions, that we should stow our dried food so that mice would not be attracted which we did, in totes we brought, but every night once the lights went out the cabin was infested with them. My husband had to set traps that he went to buy. To add to the disappointment, the ad stated swimming was an option but when we went to do so, there were leaches everywhere and one attached to my daughter leading us to avoid that for the week. We paid a lot of money for such a disappointing time. What was supposed to be relaxing turned out to be frustrating and stressful. The property, while beautiful, was not upkept with long grass and garbage from previous renters as well. I expected all the amenities that were listed in the listing to be available and they were not. These are only a few of the frustrating issues we encountered during our stay. In the end I would definitely not recommend renting this cabin. The owner was easy to communicate with but sadly he either doesn't have to time, money, or knowledge of how to fix these issues.
We had a great stay at this secluded cottage right on the bay, great for swimming and fishing. Owners are great people and I plan on returning sometime soon
Thanks !
