Cozy cabin
We had rain and gray skies the whole time, so we spent our time in the cabin. Pretty much every VRBO we’ve ever stayed in (which is a lot) had that grimy, nobody’s been here feeling but not this cabin. It lived up to all the reviews about cleanliness and well stocked. It’s CLEAN and comfy! We didn’t really mind being stuck inside so much. We did enjoy the fire pit one day. I wish we could have used it more. There are a TON of DVDs available to watch and having Netflix, Hulu, Max etc available was great too. The new oven was much appreciated too. Thanks for sharing your cabin!!!

Perfect family getaway
We enjoyed everything about this property and location. It something for everyone to enjoy— fishing, swimming, floating, walking and good restaurants with just a short drive into town. Our host was very communicative and friendly. Very convenient checkin and check out. We brought our family dog who loved the water and laying on the dock. Our family has enjoyed making memories at this perfect getaway on the lake!

Kids loved the upstairs area for sleeping, the three of them slept comfortably, and we loved the privacy. Great little place on the lake, caught a few fish, enjoyed the kayaks and the boat. Overall great trip and will come back again.

Pickerl Lake
We felt at home the minute we walked in the door. Cabin was very clean, host left a notebook with the restaurants in the area, menu from each. The lake is crystal clear, you can see the fish swimming from standing on the dock. We caught bass, sun fish, 1pike, crappie and some other kinds, so much fun, we catch and release so size not issue, just fun. Kayaks were fun, they also had a paddle boat and row boat. Beds were comfy, but we were very tired by end of each day and could have slept anywhere. Cabin was well stocked with pots, pans, plates, glasswear, plenty of towels, blankets. We wanted a few days away to relax and enjoy family and we got it! Saw foxes, mama deers w babies, if you pick up rocks along shore you can find crawfish! Great time would definitely go back again!
