Cabin was very clean and homey. It was a bit cold with just the space heater in living room. We enjoyed the view so much! Especially the sunrise! It was secluded, lots of privacy. And we loved seeing the deer in the yard in the evenings.
Check in was easy, the owner Steve was responsive. Camp has lots of amenities, and the wifi works great. Perfect spot for a couple or small family to spend a few quiet days. Lake level was low but we were still able to get out to kayak, swim and fish.
We had a fantastic stay! Our kids loved swimming and kayaking. The beach was a 2 minute walk from the cabin, private and spacious. The cabin was impeccable but still rustic enough to share with our kids and dog. Steve was an amazing host, and the location was very convenient. We'll be staying again!
We had a very enjoyable family vacation. Steve was a very informative and receptive host. Both of my kids had a great time on the beach, fishing, and using the theater space in the garage. The yard was clean and open. Perfect for throwing a frisbie around and a water gun fight. Highly recommend visiting the red door.
It was the perfect spot for us. Close to the Lake, good fishing, beautiful views. The owners were very helpful whenever we had questions. Perfect place for us. Hope we can get back soon.
We enjoyed our long weekend at the camp. Sadly it was late summer and the water level was very low. The private beach was a mud pit. We were about to use the kayaks, but had to drag them a great distance to launch due to the mud The dogs very much enjoyed running around the big yard, and it was a good spot for stargazing. The nights were cool and the large fire pit was delightful. We brought quite a lot of kitchen items but we were a bit disappointed with the kitchen supplies.
Awesome location, very secluded & loved the lake access, perfect for our kayaks & so easy to get to! We loved this place & will be returning soon!! Thank you Steve for sharing your home with us and allowing for a relaxing vacation!!
Family had a blast. Cabin is clean, property is great, everything is easily accessible, Sharon was very nice and accommodating. Only good things to say.
We so enjoyed our week stay! Never been so close to deer â„ïž Sharon was fantastic! Definitely recommend and hope to go back soon and definitely next year!
The location was a perfect getaway as it was a peaceful setting next to the lake with easy access to state lands with nearby walking trails. The communication from the owner was excellent from my initial inquiry until the time we left the property. We were extremely thankful for the courtesy shown us by the owners and will certainly return to the property again the next time we visit the area. It was a great experience.
Great little camp house with a path to the lake. Super clean, well stocked. Two fire pits (one by the house, one by the water) Perfect for two or 3 people. They even had a garage to hang out in, in case of rain. Loved my stay & the owner is super nice & responsive.
This was the perfect spot to hideaway quite cozy !! Lost power d/t storm manager checked on us brought more lanterns! Games played by candle lantern lights just perfect birthday weekend! Thank you!
This was our 2nd time staying here and we absolutely love the place. We caught 6 different species of fish, got some wonderful bird photos. We took our boat and had a great time exploring around. We fished after dark with a campfire and there was a live band next door, (not sure what event was going on?) it was AWESOME! We met some local people in our adventures, and they were so kind. We plan on going back next year.
Had an amazing time! The property is private and plenty of room for your dog to roam. Yet the owner is right next door in case you need them or have any questions. The kids (age 17) were able to pitch a tent on the sand by the water and sleep down there for a night. Thank you for an amazing couple nights. We will be coming back.
Very cute place just enough space for me and my husband. Very clean and owner responds to any questions we had quickly. You can drive or walk down to the water.It is very quiet and peaceful. Loved it even when it rained
Our stay at Red Door Cabin during May was great. The cabin is clean, with obvious recent and on-going updates. The unpredictable cold weather hampered a couple plans but we are thankful to Sharon for checking on us and assuring our comfort. We loved the screened-in porch and lake view, perfect for morning coffee and bird watching. We were very happy that our little dachshund was allowed to be with us and thank Steve for being so responsive to our concerns as well. This cute little cabin on Hinckley Lake served us well as we visited family in the area and we would love to return again.
My husband and I (and our small dog) have stayed at Red Door twice now and really enjoyed our stays. Itâs in a nice private spot without feeling isolated, and the big yard is great for lounging in the sun, playing lawn games, and enjoying nightly fires. We also love that the garage is available for use so we could keep our outdoor gear in there. In addition to the big yard at the camp, thereâs also quite a bit of space down at the beach, with terrain varying from grass to sand to rocks. One thing weâve found during both stays is that there is a lot of broken glass around the beach, particularly in the grass and sand, so watch your feet and where youâre putting your picnic blankets down. The camp itself is small and rustic, but cozy and functional. The kitchen has all the basic tools needed for prepping meals but be prepared to bring all of your own consumables, including condiments, paper products/wraps/baggies, hand/dish soap, etc. I was pleased to see the bathroom has been remodeled since our last visit, and the provided linens are nice. Overall weâve had a very relaxing couple of vacations here and would definitely consider returning again.
This property was located right by the camp I was volunteering at. I needed a 4 night booking. The online pictures looked good. I appreciated the linens and towels, not everyone does that. One really big issue was that it seemed like everything was sprayed w fabric refresher. . Not what I expected at all. Additionally, the laundry was washed in extremely strong smelling laundry detergent. I ended up taking my linens and towels to the laundromat because of the overwhelming chemicals and scents. A more sensitive skin type detergent would be a smart choice. I kept the windows open and the fans on to dissipate the fabric refresher saturation. The interior could use a more thorough vacuuming all throughout. My phone fell into the couch cushions and the crumbs and the amount of debris was surprising. I was disappointed the couch was advertised as a âpull outâ but in truth was not. Extra blankets would have been a great addition as it was chilly overnight and I wasnât comfortable running the electric heater unattended. The lake access was great. We swam w friends a couple of times.
All in all the proximity to my camp made the price worth it
