The cabin was perfect for a wintery getaway! Paul was a gracious host who went the extra mile (literally) to meet us at the road’s entrance with a snowplow-equipped jeep to make sure we didn’t get stuck in the snow. The space was surprisingly spacious with lots of spots to hang out indoors. We enjoyed the wood stove, games and puzzles, and the bed was very comfy. We look forward to coming back when it’s warm enough weather to swim and take the canoe out on the water.

Cant wait to go back!

Paul's place is a true gem - and Paul + Piper are gems of hosts! We enjoyed a cozy and very cold winter weekend warm and comfy by the wood stove, walking out on the frozen lake, enjoying good conversations with Paul, and even getting some sweet tips on the happenings in town. Already so excited to come back!

Thank you for a nourishing stay!

My dogs and I had a lovely time at Paul's and Piper's. Paul was a gracious and responsive host. The cottage was cozy and comfortable, just what I needed for a little retreat. It was nice to have the cabin vibe alongside wifi and a hot shower, too, which was good since I was in the area for a conference. The lake and woods are so beautiful. I can't wait to go back!

We loved Paul's place so much, we had to come back! This was our second time staying at Paul's cottage. Highlights include the cozy fire place, cooking meals, and playing lots of games. We went to Paul Bunyan state forest for a short hike, and enjoyed watching the moody lake from the comfort of the cozy cabin. Piper made sure to visit for lots of pets and ear skritches too!

We love Paul, Piper, and their cabin!! Stayed with my 7year old son on a week long roadtrip. Cabin exceeded my expectations, the view is amazing, and Paul is beyond kind. Plenty of fire wood available, canoe at your disposal, and some awesome sunrises. We will be back ☺️
