Did I mention there are a lot of fish in Burntside Lake to be caught by fisherman and fisherwoman.

- "We had a wonderful time - swimming, taking daily saunas, playing games, making art, reading, relaxing and having fun together. Best dock for running and jumping into the lake. Grandkids (ages 7,4) enjoyed the freedom of running around outside by themselves, finding frogs and bugs, etc. Absolutely beautiful setting. Owner is very kind and helpful" - "This was our second year here. such a beautiful spot, and private, even though it is a fairly busy shoreline. Enough room around it to feel it is not your typical cabin rental - you can't see another cabin or person from your perch in the house. It's rustic and minimal and that's just the way we like it. The sauna was a big draw for us since it was on the chillier side this year. The dock is perfect, you can cannonball right off of it into the clean waters of Burntside. Cabin was tidy, linens nice, and it had everything we needed to cook. We will be back, this is a gem."
