This place was the perfect spot to end the day after visiting with family. It had everything we needed and more! The screened patio was our favorite hangout spot after fishing off the dock in the evenings. We would definitely stay there again if we are ever back in this area!

Cute, clean cabin

We caught monster bass off the dock, tooled around the lake in kayaks, and hid under the blankets watching Stranger Things on Netflix. Just a perfect stay.

Cozy cabin with great views

My sister and I met up here for a girls weekend. The cabin is beautifully decorated, quiet and quaint. Unfortunately the weather wasn’t great so we spent a lot of time playing games and hit up some of the breweries in town. The cabin had everything we needed from spices to pots and pans. Beds were comfortable and the lake views from the living room were beautiful.

Relaxing to the max

Loved this property and plan to return again. It is perfectly appointed with everything you need. It looks small but it has nooks, hooks and baskets to put away all your things. The screen porch is wonderful. Swimming and boating right from the property and the lake is very clear. The host was very responsive to needs and concerns.

Nicely Furnished

This cabin is very updated with many upscale items, especially in the kitchen. The owner was very accessible for any questions we had. The downside for us was the 40 steps down to the dock. Fishing was, however, excellent!

These hosts have excellent taste!

This property had everything we needed for a cozy weekend away. We appreciated the minimalist design and white space throughout the home. We were pleasantly surprised to find many familiar, but unexpected items like a french press, the best and most functional kitchen utensils, and my favorite cookbook, Tartine. The linens were super soft, the fire pit was beautiful, and they even had some toys and books for the 3 year old.

Family Get Away

Haven on ida was the perfect getaway for our small family. The home was in pristine condition, and so comfortable for us. No detail was overlooked. The dock has steps down into the lake and the lake is clear and sandy bottom. Would definitely return back!

4th of July stay

This cabin was exactly as advertised. Very adorable. New and extremely clean. Cozy. Minimalistic. We enjoyed the stay. Gas grill was near out of gas. Started to grill our burgers on the 4th and ran out of gas before we could fully cook the meat. Thankfully our neighbor to the west let us use their grill. Saved us! Also, Bring your own paper products. Only one roll of toilet paper, half roll of paper towels and 1 replacement garbage bag, We would stay again but definitely hope for a full tank of gas next time.

Wonderful getaway location!

We spent a few days doing our annual planning retreat here and loved the space. Was very open and filled with natural light which of course makes the creative process much easier. Great communication with the owners! Our experience was great! We also LOVED the cozy chairs by the windows!

Relaxing Cabin Retreat

Haven is exactly what the name describes. A wonderful retreat from the city on a beautiful lake with an equally beautiful renovation inside. I love to cook and was very impressed by the kitchen setup. All we needed to do was grab a few fresh items and had everything we needed to cook a variety of things. Will plan to stay here again when its warm out and enjoy the lake etc.
