Guest access
This is a private residence with lots of private parking and keyless entry. You are welcome to use and explore the property to your full responsible enjoyment. Spend the day exploring the woods full of vibrant colors in the fall, building a snowman in the winter or swimming in the lake with family this summer. Whatever the season there's an activity you will love and enjoy.

Other things to note
This is our home and we want it to feel warm and inviting when you arrive. Everything we have here is something we enjoy ourselves and won't feel like a quick set up. This is a home with a lot of love and care. We've tried to make it as comfortable as possible for ourselves to love, relax and enjoy. We hope you fall in love with this place as much as we have and visit our cabin for years to come.
