Easter Weekend 2023
We drove 3.5 hours to stay at the clean cozy cabin. The cabin was very clean and there was plenty of wood for wood burning fireplace. Gorgeous picturesque views of the lake and awesome sunsets. The queen bed was new and very comfortable. We really enjoyed our stay and are looking to come back in summer to enjoy the lake! Thank you for sharing a great place with us!

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!

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!

Relaxing & Comfortable for extended family vacation
My family really enjoyed staying here. It was very comfortable. Air conditioning was a surprise bonus and we're so glad we had it. Access to docks, swim raft, boats & equipment was fantastic. Your home was very welcoming, as we found just about everything we needed. Well-stocked kitchen and bath. Only downside was that the closets and dressers were already mostly filled with extra bedding, and with small bedrooms, there wasn't any place to put suitcases. This seems like an easy fix. Our son loved having the upstairs to himself! We look forward to booking again!

It was SO peaceful. Nothing better than coffee on the deck in the morning looking at the lake. The place had everything a person could need. Super clean. Pet friendly as well. My only regret is not staying longer.

Super clean and so very well stocked
This was the cleanest cabin we’ve ever rented! It was obviously freshly cleaned when we arrived. It is also one of the best stocked cabins. There were lots of dishes, cookware, and supplies in the kitchen, plenty of towels and toiletries in the bathroom, and lots of sheets and blankets in the bedrooms. There were many movies and a few games as well. Furniture was also plentiful with ample seating for everyone. The lake is gorgeous in the winter and I enjoyed a nice stroll around checking out the ice fishing. Oh yes - The wi-fi was good enough to keep four phones, a tablet, and a computer all running! Great place to stay with a very communicative - but not intrusive - host.

Love coming up to this cabin. The wife and I spend a few days up here so I can go ice fishing and she can sit by a fire reading a book. The cabin is perfect for our few days up there and the surrounding area is beautiful to drive through.
