Peace and quiet

This home is in a quiet area.
**Winter 2025: Note the indoor fireplace is not currently available to use due to renovation. Central heat still keeps the cabin cozy and warm!**

Nestled in a quiet lake community, our 1945 cabin is perfect for nature-lovers, homebodies, star-gazers, bookworms, home cooks, music nerds and everyone in between.

Please be prepared for snowy roads! 4-wheel drive or snow tires are recommended. We have a plow service clear the driveway, but you are responsible for shoveling the walkway.

HOST INTERACTION: We are super responsive on the Airbnb app (less than one hour!) to any questions, and have a local management company should any issues arise.

Other things to note
Our home is pet-friendly, but we also expect that you will ensure that our property remains undamaged. Any overt damage, stains or scratches will result in the equivalent loss of your security deposit for replacements or repairs.

You MUST read the guide before making any fires, whether inside, outside or sauna.

The garage downstairs and its contents are unavailable to our guests, do not attempt to enter. There is a security camera monitoring the space.

Our driveway can accommodate two parked cars, or the second can be parked at the top of the property near the corner where the fence ends.
