The cabin was spotless upon arrival and has a wonderful A/C system which was needed at night. With the windows and doors closed, it was very quiet in the cabin. Plenty of hot water and decent water pressure, having 2 college age daughters we never ran out! Even though there are homes around the cabin, they weren't in use the week we were there and since the property is at the end of the road, it felt very private. The location is great is you like to walk and bike. We did both right from the cabin. There is a hiking trail 2 miles away called Shannon Lake and we biked there. The cabin has a great view of the lake from the inside and the deck. We saw eagles daily and loons a couple of times. We brought our paddleboards and the lake was calm the whole week to paddle. Fishing itself was OK. Largemouth, northern, smallmouth, most on the smaller side. One thing to note is that you cannot swim from this dock, too weedy. If you want to kayak, fish, paddleboard, this lake will serve the purpose well. We loved being close to Saint Germain and Sayner. Cathy's Ice Cream and the Corner Store have great ice cream. The paved bike trails aren't that far away, you have to drive to them but once you get to one of the parking lots, you can bike for miles. There are flea markets/craft fairs in the towns different days of the week. Lots of deer and turkey were seen right near the cabin daily. The hammock was a delightful surprise for our daughters, they loved it.
