Feels like home
We’ve been renting this cabin for years and have stayed more times than I can count. Every time I pull into the drive, it feels like coming home, and I’m sad whenever I have to leave. It is, quite simply, the perfect getaway.

Amazing!!
This cabin was everything my husband and I were looking for! So quiet and secluded, perfect for a romantic weekend getaway. From the moment we pulled up to the cabin, to the time we left, we were so in love with this place. It is just far enough away to be secluded, but close enough to town for groceries and activities. We enjoyed The General golf course at Eagle Ridge, which was less than 20 minutes away, Fergetaboudit winery which was about 10 minutes away, and Galena. At the cabin we loved fishing, the campfire, hiking around the property, and grilling out on the deck while watching a storm roll in. I highly recommend this cabin and even already booked again for next year :)

Unique place to stay!
This was my 4th time at this place! It’s such a unique place! Private lake, beautiful surrounding! We enjoyed our weekend and we were so sad we had to leave the place! The check in process was very smooth, the cabin was clean and the kitchen was very well equipped. We really enjoyed watching the stars at night, and the peacefulness of the place! Thank you again for having us.

Relax and unwind.
This property is truly a tranquil retreat and Im so grateful that they share this place. This year I decided to venture into the woods, across from cabin. Left of the cabin was easy peasy. Then I decided to go to the south west side of the cabin. Well I got lost and walked and walked. I finally came opon a farm with a girl named Amanda. She lived on Blanding. She was the sweetest thing and had me hop into her side by side and took me back to my cabin, in a down pour on muddy trails. I wanted to give her something for her trouble but she wouldnt except anything. It was an adventure for sure.

Perfect getaway
This was our third year staying here, and my 5 year old grandson’s first time. He really had a great time too. When we were getting ready to leave, he said he wanted to stay 100 more days. We look forward to coming back more each time. The fishing was great, swimming and hiking were also a hit. It’s just so relaxing here. Thank you for letting us stay!

Cabin on the Lake
We loved our time at the Cabin on the Lake! We fished, we hiked, we went swimming, and we had campfires every night. The cabin is in a great location—totally secluded, but close enough for a quick trip into town. I’m honestly torn in between telling everyone I know how awesome this place is versus telling absolutely no one, in hopes that it might be available for our next stay.

Cabin in the woods
A perfect cabin in the woods! The lake was beautiful! It was so quiet, all you could hear were the birds and frogs. The deck was the perfect spot for morning coffee and enjoying the view. And the fire pit was perfect for s'mores! Great location and not too far from Galena if you wanted to run into town for a meal. Three Sisters in Elizabeth (15 min away) has amazing ice cream too!!

Did you read my last review?
If so, what are you waiting for?? Book it now before I book it again! Fantastic spot to relax and enjoy a few days away from it all. Boating, walking the grounds; adjacent to Galena and chestnut mountain, apple donuts at the top of the hill at the orchard! Nights are quiet and serene, days the forest is alive and the air is fresh. The property owner helped us out with everything we needed.

Unbelievably Beautiful Location
We loved staying at the cabin and enjoyed the privacy this property offered. Our weather was perfect and we spent as much time outside as we could either paddling on the lake or hiking on the private trails. We also had a campfire one night and loved seeing the endless stars! There are numerous options close to the cabin for hiking and other activities. We spent a day shopping in Galena. Absolutely loved this beautiful and walkable town. It was very busy but afterwards we got to escape back to our cabin and returned to our state of zen. Truly a lovely experience!

Relaxing lake cabin
We so enjoyed coming back again this year! This cabin on the lake is cozy, and is supplied with anything you should need. It’s the most relaxing place I’ve ever found. Just looking over the lake, fishing, listening to nature, looking at so many stars at night, or discovering the many trails. And the scenery is breathtaking. We can’t wait to return. Thank you Catherine for allowing us to stay there. The apple turnover’s and apple donuts (still warm out of the oven) from Orchard Landing are the best ever, and just down the road.

Another perfect weekend
The cabin is just what our family needed. We enjoyed the change of season this weekend and we were super cozy. The trails off the lake are my favorite part. We caught tons of fish and snuggled in for Sunday's football game. The kitchen had everything we needed for a big family meal. Thank you again for your hospitality!

We always love coming to this property for the beautiful scenery, privacy, and time spent in nature. The little lake is so fun to swim in and we enjoyed taking out the canoe and pedal boat. The fire pit is awesome and you can see every star at night. The cabin’s balcony is the perfect place to sip a drink and enjoy the view. We keep coming back because we always have a wonderful time here with our family.

We can’t get enough of this place. It’s close enough to town for a trip for pizza and a visit to the old fashioned ice cream parlor and candy store, yet secluded from the rest of the world to enjoy peace and quiet. We love the fishing, swimming, boating, hiking, exploring, campfires and the family bonding time this wonderful place affords us.
