This two-bedroom cabin comes equipped with new appliances, a pull-out couch, a comfortable recliner, an outdoor fire pit, a gas grill, and private lake access.

The master bedroom features a queen bed and a twin bed, along with a "pack and play" to accommodate family needs. The second bedroom includes a queen bed and a shared bathroom for the space. The living room offers a smart TV and strong Wi-Fi, perfect for those who dream of a "Work from Home" lifestyle, along with a pull-out couch.
During your stay, take advantage of the three complimentary single kayaks and one double kayak, as well as direct access to the lake. If you have little ones, a free local splash pad is just a short ten-minute drive away, and a high chair is also available. Upon check-in, we'll provide you with a guidebook detailing all the exciting local amenities in the area.
