🌲 Five Echos – Secluded Cabin Retreat Near the Lake 🌲

Tucked deep in the woods, Five Echos is a cozy cabin retreat where peace, play, and a touch of storybook magic come together. Legend has it this cabin once belonged to a Swiss-German yodeler (yes, really!)—so don’t be surprised if the forest feels alive with echoes of its past.

Just 500 steps from the lake, this hideaway blends rustic charm with modern comforts, making it the perfect escape for families, couples, or friends looking to relax, reconnect, and recharge.

Inside, soaring floor-to-ceiling windows frame the forest, while the warm woodsy interior and thoughtful amenities make you feel right at home. Step outside to stargaze, roast marshmallows by the fire pit, and share laughter echoing through the trees.

Liked: Cleanliness, check-in, communication, location, listing accuracy
Only things we could've used were a dish sponge and towels for the lake.

Liked: Cleanliness, check-in, communication, location, listing accuracy
The home was great. The deck is very nice. The view was nice. The term "lake access" is liberal. I didn't find a safe way to get to it. The fire pit area wasn't as large as the photos make it appear. Other than those two critiques, it was a great stay, especially if you like remote.
