Would book again!

Was a great cabin for our family of four. Centrally located and close to the supermarket and lake. The cabin was just as pictured. Clean and furnished with everything we needed. Noticed a few damages to their furniture & window, but that didn’t effect our stay one bit. I’d definitely book again!! Thank you!!

Loved Pankratz Pines!

Beautiful, upgraded attention to detail family cabin! Loved the balconies & views. Even though the downstairs hallway light was not working, the sliding glass door would not fully close and there was a crack in one of the windows. I will still return again to this gem! Thank you.

Nice place with good amenities although a bit outdated

The place was great and we loved that it had nice patio furniture and a grill that fired up quickly. The beds could use some updating though - pretty worn out.

Beautiful house

The house was great and had everything we could need. Had some miscommunications with the property management as it wasn’t ready at 4 when it should have been. Overall we were pleased and would rent again.
