Our family enjoyed this cabin so much! It's like staying in your favorite Aunt's lakehouse while she's away. There is an amazing attention to detail and little extras that go a long way. Many condiments, spices, essentials, touches of home, etc. were well stocked.
We were there with over 100 degree heat index and were still able to enjoy the property. The cabin stayed very cool, the covered porch made the outside accessible, and access to the covered dock was a huge asset for a day on the lake. The lake is pretty quiet. I would definitely recommend renting the kayaks. All our family were beginners but we learned quickly and enjoyed how we were able to experience the lake with them. We spent most of the day at the dock. We brought our own hammocks and a couple of our own lawn chairs down there and it made it very comfortable.
The adjustable mattress in the bedroom was very nice. The loft made a great spot for all our kids. The extra powder room upstairs was very helpful. The only thing we missed was a bigger family dining area inside (space for 4 around bar). The water from the fridge was good! The cat was content to stay outside. My husband is allergic to cats and he did not need to take medication.
We were there over the 4th on July and enjoyed the fireworks done by several of the neighbors. But once we came inside, they didn't seem too loud. Also, there is low light pollution in this area, so it was a pretty good spot for us to experience the stars! This really is a hidden gem, about an hour from the edge of the KC metro. We would love to return sometime!
