Peace and quiet

Guests say this home is in a quiet area.
Enjoy a cozy, quiet retreat in this peaceful spot with stunning waterfront views. This special cabin was used as a primary home until recently, which means it’s outfitted for you to feel right at home!

A quiet, private dirt road takes you retreat on a sandy bottom lake with a gas fireplace, panoramic view of the lake, a firepit, gas grill, and well-appointed kitchen.

Local host offers fresh eggs, firewood, honey, and home grown maple syrup for purchase.

Other things to note
PLEASE NOTE:
The cell service in this area is spotty. We do have WiFi and a workstation set up for remote work.

The house does have direct lake access with a dedicated private dock in summer months. The walk down is a little steep and only has a railing on one side; we recommend accompanying young children.

Pets are permitted, but not on the furniture. There is a dog bed and food/ water bowls for your furry friend to enjoy.
