We had a wonderful stay! We reserved both cabins, and each was immaculate and so well stocked with amenities. The backyard was level and easy to navigate, which was especially helpful for my aging dad, and our teenage grandson had plenty to keep him entertained with all the fun activities provided. The setting was quiet and serene, making it a perfect getaway spot for our large family. We also had the pleasure of meeting the owner onsite, who was kind, and welcoming. We truly enjoyed our time here and would happily return!

Perfect Family Getaway

There is something for everyone at this stunning Bay Lake retreat. Wonderful spacious cabin, games and beach for the kids and a gourmet kitchen for Grandma. The lake is great for fishing and watersports. Close to Rutgers resort for a quick getaway or spa day. Best thing about this years stay was the six year old skiing for the first time!

Fabulous cabin!

What a perfect place for a family vacation! Ample space for eleven of us (plus seven more in cabin B). Well-appointed kitchen with everything you need to cook for an army, spacious bedrooms and comfortable beds. Between the lake activities, jumping from the sauna to the ice bath, making s'mores on the fire pit or playing board games in the game room, there was never a dull moment. We loved every minute of our stay. A special thank you to our host, John, for his kind hospitality. He made us all feel so welcomed and pampered. Can't wait to come back next year!

Unforgettable Stay on Bay Lake!We had an absolutely amazing time at this beautiful cabin on Bay Lake! From the moment we arrived, everything exceeded our expectations. The cabin was spotless, modern, and perfectly designed for comfort and relaxation. It felt like a true home away from home.The fishing was phenomenal. Bay Lake delivered big time! We caught everything from bass to panfish right off the dock and had the best time out on the water.What truly made our stay unforgettable was the exceptional hospitality. The host went above and beyond to make sure we had everything we needed. Super responsive, thoughtful, and genuinely welcoming.Whether you're looking to fish, relax, or just soak in nature, this place has it all. We can’t wait to come back!

Bay Lake retreat

Oh my. Where to begin? This cabin is exceptional in all regards. It's beautifully maintained, well organized and stocked and the host/owner, John, is readily available and communicative. Our entire family stayed here for my dad's birthday, which also coincided with Labor Day wknd. John was accommodating in allowing us to check in a smidge early to decorate, and offered help as well. I've never stayed at a property that was so well supplied: there were so many towels!, which sounds trivial, but was great because we had a lot of people with us and didn't have to consistently do laundry. It's a short drive to town, and there's a list of different things to do and restaurants if you want to leave the property. We parked a family member's fishing boat at our private dock for the wknd and there's a small shoreline for kiddos to play on as well. It's a spectacular rental and I hope to be back!

Winter weekend

We stayed during very cold weekend, but found the Bay Lake home to be just what we needed with two fireplaces and a sauna! There are multiple spaces to stretch out and enjoy. We played pool, cards, watched tv, took a sauna in below zero weather too! We enjoyed the beautiful well appointed kitchen, there was plenty of room for dining as well. One of our favorite properties yet!

This was our second year vacationing at this home. It’s great for our family and it’s a really fun place to be! We fished, swam, enjoyed Paul Bunyan land and Pirates Cove mini golf to name a few activities. The kitchen is fun to cook in and the deck and patio are perfect places to relax.
