I can’t think of one thing they could have done better. Plenty of seating and space on the decks, well stocked kitchen and the hot tub was fantastic. Appreciated the detailed instructions and communication. Far exceeded expectations." - "The house and hot tub were nice. Good communication with the owner. We were hoping to fish from the property, but we should have done some research. We didn't see fish in late July. And the bank area would have made casting pretty tricky. But the house was good and the hot tub was awesome. The Wii was a surprisingly big hit with the kids."

- "We were unable to make our trip due to a last minute family issue, but the host was wonderful to deal with and we definitely want to book it and enjoy the beautiful property and location." - "House was clean and comfortable. I would note that the bunk beds are twin beds, as we assumed they would be queen sized based on the description of how many the house would accommodate. I would say 3 adults or 2 adults with 2 children would work best. House was cozy and easy to find; set back from the highway for privacy and a beautiful property. Owners are so kind and easy to communicate with. We would stay again!"

- "We had a wonderful weekend at the cabin. The cabin was spotless, the lake was perfect for my 3 year old and 11 month old to splash around in, very shallow and clean. My 3 year old loved fishing from shore. He was able to catch and release a lot of small fish which made his entire weekend. The only thing I would have to recommend is providing plug-in fans since there is no AC. I read the reviews prior to booking and was worried about the heat, especially at night. We ended up bringing two fans which we used the first night, because it was 88° that day, but the rest of the nights were cool and I wish we wouldn’t have had to waste precious cargo space . Other than that, excellent stay."

We enjoyed the little walking trails around the property and loved sitting around the fire pit.

The place was also very clean and well stocked with essentials for daily living. Would love to stay again in the future!"

- "We loved staying in the yurt. It was quiet, peaceful, spotless and private." - "I hate to give a five star summary because it means more bookings and less availability. But here is the honest truth. First and foremost it is CLEAN! It is NOT the base camp for the "guys" headed up north to see how many cases of beer they can drink. It is a great location for the wife and kids, especially if the wife has a dislike for the typical "cabin" the guys are used to staying in for the weekend salmon fishing trip. There are things I would definitely change about the property but that is personal preference. The yurt is laid out nicely with little privacy but more than a hotel room. The Kitchen has everything you need with many minor details included (zip lock bags, spice rack, coffee, etc.). The bathroom is very nicely finished but is a bit of a walk away from the yurt, not too far but enough that in the rain it is an imposition. Again, very CLEAN. I did not feel that I needed dollar store flip flops in order to shower. The setting is very quiet with the exception of the neighbors rooster who lets you know that 6:30 a.m. has arrived yet again. In short it was a perfect adventure. One that the wife and our kids hope to make a yearly memory if not more frequently. So anyone reading this, please go elsewhere so you don't make it more difficult for me... LOL, but seriously"
