Cedar Lake getaway with sauna!

10.0 out of 10, Exceptional, (14)
"My adult children had requested a large house for those who wanted to sleep in, and a communal kitchen space. This cabin had that and more. The water access wasn’t great, as a long steep stairway led to a rocky shoreline. But once there, water activities were wonderful! We would have enjoyed more yard room, but made due with generous neighbors."

Sunset Cabin Rental

9.2 out of 10, Wonderful, (23)
"The property was very nice and accomedated our large group! The lake access was awesome with shallow water and a beach area. The gas grill was much larger than we expected which was great for our making burgers. The main door did stick and latched funny plus the cleaning fee was very high for us to be expected to wash all the towels. It was a great place to stay just make sure to plan time for washing things prior to check out. The neighbor dog was super friendly!"
