Fantastic Location and Great Amenities
Perfect for a family get away if it were just a cabin on the lake. The amenities, cleanliness, and communication with the owner put it over the top. Will be coming back for sure.

Amazing time on Douglas Lake
We really enjoyed our time here. 10 people fit here very well. We brought an extra cot to use as well. Amazing proximity to the island. Dock in water for boat access. The launch is close by as well. We were able to get old friends together and have the best weekend of the year. The neighbors are also fantastic and will likely welcome you in. Probably the best hot tub I’ve ever been in as well. Jeff was very responsive. Thanks for a great stay!
