Summary: Quintessential cabin just steps from the lake with a cute dock, fire pit and chairs . Water is shallow about 1/8 mile out and slightly rocky. Bring water shoes and a kayak!! Fun! Spacious, comfortable, well-equipped and super easy to communicate with the owners. The waterfront is beautiful and quiet. The town of Alden (5-10 min drive) is super cute and convenient. I would definitely stay again !
