Hamley-Lakefront Retreat is Located on 145 Peaceful Acres

This was our family’s second time staying at this property. We intend to be back. This house has everything you could possibly need! The beds are comfy and there is room for everyone. The communication was great! We wanted to extend but, alas, there was already someone else booked. You wouldn’t be disappointed.

My teenagers, bf, and bf's son spent four nights at this cabin June 2026. It's definitely isolated which is why we picked it.....my son is studying biology in college and spent each night out with a lantern checking for critters.I think the cabin's price point was a bit steep. Things were creaky and a bit dated. For example, an outlet faceplate with a gaping hole instead of a plugin. There was a switch panel that had openings for three light switches but the third was empty. Several of the hand cranks to open the windows were cracked, one broken off. I don't know where this was cataloged but I was halfway afraid of being charged for things that were in disrepair. We didn't need to open the windows anyway.Towels were in old cabinets and smelled musty when used. The downstairs bedroom smelled slightly of fuel (gasoline) but we couldn't tell where it was coming from. I didn't contact the owner or VRBO because 1) no cell service and 2) would have been a wild goose chase for such a faint smell. But the smell was there and persisted each day.Water pressure was weird. The water would pulse high/low while shower was running.We got the isolated trip that my son requested and we had a good time. I think the cabin was a bit overpriced though.

Cozy, secluded cabin. Using provided kitchen utensils we were able to bake a birthday cake!

Great stay for a low key, no internet week! The dogs loved running around and scratching their legs! Would visit again!

Very quiet and peaceful location. House had everything we needed with a great view of the lake!
