Very quiet area and peaceful. Nice get away with the family. Host very quick response when we had questions. Kids enjoyed the paddle boards and kayaks.
Walked in to find a dirty cabin. Food pieces on stove top, floors dirty, beds unmade. Almost left....DIL nearly freaked. We cleaned, found bedding & made beds, guys cleaned up porch and area around....3 days into stay and noticed bad smell in bathroom....bedding and towels left in washer...ugh. We pulled them out, stuffed in a garbage bag and left them outside to dry out. NO wifi unless you bring your own and then it's ify. Best thing was location which is why we stayed and the fishing was great.
We were looking forward to getting out on the lake, but unfortunately it looked like all the water crafts hadnât been touched in a long time and needed a good cleaning. The house had a strong musky smell, and when we went to go to sleep and removed the decorative pillow and comforter our bed and pillows were covered in hair not sure human or dog. Not a lot of room to unpack clothes, no closets. Owner was quick to respond the messages and thoughtful in leaving a fan for us, however for the price and the good ratings we were expecting much different fully finished and ready for exploration unfortunately, so it was a let down. The area was great and the dock would have been perfect to set out on. The kids appreciated a few of the movies there when we returned for the night, that was great.
Great stay on such a peaceful lake. If you are looking for quiet, this is your spot! Kids caught a variety of fish off the dock in the morning and evening. Mark is a great host, thanks Mark!
it was everything our family needed to escape the real world while maintaining all the comfort
Swimming, fishing, kayaks, smores, and lots of relaxed family time
Mark was easy to communicate with and the listing is honest
Cabin was clean and had many extras. Area was quiet. Lake was calm and warm. Small lake with lots of weeds so we didnât swim. Kayak and paddle boards were fun and perfect for the lake. Saw eagles everyday.
The cabin is clean, spacious, well equipped and in a very quiet and peaceful place. The only ânegativeâ was the TV (which gets only a few.....very odd channels) and that frankly proved to be a boon as well, as we simply just enjoyed watching the eagles swoop over the lake and listening to the loons......
The owner was extraordinary responsive when I reached out, friendly, helpful.....and accurate. I would stay here again in a heartbeat and recommend it. Great value for the nightly rate.
Everything was as expected or better. Cabin was clean and had everything we needed. Communication from the owner was great and responsive. Many things to do in the area (besides swimming, fishing, kayaking, etc) such as ATV trail riding, shopping, dining, and a casino (although it is very limitedâno table games). The best part were the views, sunsets & the peace & quiet. Overall, a wonderful experience and we are looking forward to a return visit.
My family had an excellent experience renting this cabin. The cabin was clean and had everything we needed. We had plenty to do- kayaks, paddle boards, a row boat for fishing. We caught a lot of fish, and enjoyed seeing eagles and loons on the lake. Mark was very responsive to our questions before and during our stay! He also warned us of severe storms approaching and suggested safety plans in case we needed to go somewhere during the storms. We will definitely come back in the future!!
The cabin is very comfortable. The lake is not large but was perfect for us. It was very quiet, just a few pontoon and fishing boats. We went fishing, kayaking, paddle boarding and spent a fair amount of time just lounging in a floatie. (We brought our own fishing equipment and floaties) We enjoyed using the grill and fire pit. It was a great way to end a fun day of lake activities. Other local activities that we enjoyed was golfing, shopping and going to the nearby beach. Casual, low stress, relaxing vacation, which is exactly what we were looking for!
We had a great time on Bishop lake! The space was plenty big with 4 adults, a 2 year old, and a dog. Cabin was very comfortable. As previously stated in the above comments the stairs are going down a hill to the lake, but my 75 year old father had no issues going up and down with a railing the whole way and 2 year was fine while holding a hand. Plenty of room to play on top by the cabin also. We caught some nice fish, watched the family of loons and the bald eagles. The owner messaged us to make sure everything was good and we arrived safely.
We absolutely loved our stay! Beautiful, rustic cabin with everything at our fingertips! As a family, we were focused on finding a cabin on a lake so we could fish & the kids could play in the water. This was perfect!
The location is great for a quick drive to other local lakes and a nice sized grocery store that has a little bit of everything!! It was very easy to find & although the neighbors are fairly close, they didn't seem too bothered by our 3 rambunctious and loud country boys! The traffic was also almost nonexistent!!
We did have a rainy afternoon but we were able to keep busy with the tote full of boardgames & activities!
We all slept amazing! The beds are super comfortable!
It was the disconnect & reset from normal life that we all needed. Mark was very quick to respond to any of my questions and had great recommendations!
Cabin needs work. Not for anyone with mobility issues. This should be mentioned in the description. There's no mention of the long stairway to the pier. There's a really strong mold odor, especially in the room with the twin beds. Not for anyone with allergies. It would have been nice if the living room and bedroom fan would have worked because only a couple of windows opened. Cabin is not childproof and not safe for young children.
On a positive note, the view is beautiful and sunsets are awesome. It would have been nice if the pontoon boat was available for use.
Well cared for cozy three bedroom cabin on a medium sized, shallow lake that was perfect for kayaking or other paddle sports. Was very quiet during our stay. We observed various birds on land and water. The lake was beautiful. Our stay was very relaxing. The accommodations were comfortable with excellent attention to the small details. The only small inconveniences were that the tap water had a sulfur smell and taste, so bring bottled water. Also, the lake was too shallow and weedy to swim in. Overall, a great up north vacation!
The lake is so peaceful! Gorgeous sunsets! Itâs not deep enough for diving or significant swimming, but the kayaks and paddle boards are a lovely way to get out. The house is basic, but comfortable and clean. Just enough amenities to relax for a week!
The rustic, cozy cabin was clean and well stocked. We spent many hours in the row boat fishing. We caught all kinds of pan fish, no keepers but catch and release was fun! We also enjoyed the kayaks and paddle boards. The lake is shallow and weedy but it is the perfect backdrop for stunning sunsets and bird watching.
