Great stay at Cabin By the Bay

My family had a great stay at Cabin by the Bay over Thanksgiving. It was a well appointed and equipped house just a stones throw from Mashes Sands beach in Panacea, it was a perfect get-away for a quiet retreat over the holiday.

Great getaway for family time

The property is beautiful and peaceful. Large enough for family to spread out. Nice place to unplug and reconnect with family. The large yard is a huge plus for parking and boats. Boat ramp just down the road.

Visiting for a wedding

The whole family loved the cabin! My favorite part was the swing in the back by the fire pit. My son and I nearly fell asleep while swinging under the trees! It was clean and well kept!

Simply Perfect!

This house is huge with a big fenced in backyard and very quiet location! The beach is 3 minute drive or a 20 minute walk, but very private, clean with a big fire pit and chairs to use! The house has everything and again, is huge! I don't know how many bedrooms there were, but each one had a big bed with nice fresh linens! Can't say enough about this place! Oh, the town is great too with friendly people and lots of hiking trails!

The Panacea Angler Lodge

We enjoyed a memorable experience! The host Debbie was incredible in terms of attentiveness, flexibility and overall hospitality! As tournament anglers, we arrived at the property to find a pole barn style parking location for all 4 of our boats with power and water. The log cabin has a great full kitchen with an awesome bar filled with seating and an awesome den and dining room. The bedrooms were top notch! I highly recommend this property and this will be our Panacea "Go-To" place to stay! Thank you for everything Debbie!

Great place to rest and relax

Not much to do in Panacea and not much of a beach, but it was actually what we expected. We had no problem finding beaches with a little driving. The accommodations were excellent and unique. The kids had a marvelous time on the swing and I enjoyed the reading nook. My husband found places to “wet a line” even though seas were too rough to go out on the boat. It is a golf cart community so that came in handy getting around. All in all, it was a great experience and we are so grateful for it.

A fun getaway with my husband, children/significants, and grandchildren

The property is located on a quiet street with limited traffic and few distractions. The host provided all things needed to make our accommodations both comfortable and stress free. Cottage very clean and was plenty of space for our group of 11. Location made it convenient to travel to our chosen destinations for our trip. Would definitely recommend this hostess and this cottage. I hope to return one day!

Very Nice again!

This was our second visit to this cabin and we are very happy both times. One thing I would wish for would be a fenced back maybe- we brought our dogs and it would have been nice to have them run around free in the back yard. However our experience was great !
