Wonderful place on the lake

Four high school buddies and I stayed here over a long weekend. We had a great time. Check-in and check-out were easy and well described. The cabin was quiet, well-stocked, and convenient. It has a great covered deck as well as an uncovered deck. Great place for family and friends.
