Wow! A whole island all to ourselves. This is a rare AirBNB find. We came in late October, and the foliage around the lake was spectacular. We brought our own kayaks both to get out to the island and to explore the rest of the lake. The whole island is encircled by a sandy beach, which, even in October, had lovely warm sun all day on the south side. The dock was great for stargazing, and a deck beside the house overlooks the water and is a perfect spot for breakfast or drinks. The wood stove works great and kept us toasty- just make sure to open the flue! The house is as rustic as described. I recommend you BYO bedding. There are sweet little strings of lights set up everywhere, so bring AA batteries to keep those running. The kitchen is decently equipped for cooking. There are several outdoor tables and plenty of chairs for outdoor dining in warmer weather. We enjoyed sitting around the fire pit and making 'smores. A very special place. We will be back!
