Dad wants to chill with no one next door blaring their music, plus kayak and float for hours in a tranquil setting. Teens and the college kid want to paddleboard, swim, play games, relax with a movie and lounge before bed in a really cool, loft-like oasis. Mom wants all of that and to wake up with a beautiful view of the lake plus a kitchen that has everything the family needs to prepare and enjoy fun meals together. We had it all and would come back in the future. Mayo Lake Park is just around the cove and it was easy to rent kayaks and paddleboards there. Kathy and Arch had floats, pool noodles, chairs by the water and an awesome dock with ladder. If you have a boat definitely bring it and launch from Mayo Park. This is one fine example of an artisan cabin featuring custom beams, rafters and notching details. It's fun to absorb the history, craftsmanship and textures around the cabin including the screened-in porch.
