Awesome place. Very clean and the view of the lake is gorgeous. The pictures of this listing don't lie. Home is very spacious and has lots of amenities. I would definitely stay here again if we planned on vacationing in the area. You won't be disappointed in this one.

Great cabin - lovely lake view with plenty of amenities, very nice layout and well maintained/updated. Kitchen is very well stocked which we appreciated! Little things like a few k-cups; extra pillows & blankets; access to paddle boat & kayaks, were also much appreciated. There are a number of steps down to the dock area; but the decking & staircase was very sturdy & well maintained. Kids enjoyed jumping off dock and tying tubes to dock to float in lake.

We had a great time at Sanborn Shores! Property is very clean and orderly, the lake is crystal clear. We had fun on the kayaks and paddle boat. We brought our Boat and fishing was good as well. Nice sitting places outside to relax and enjoy watching the eagles and loons. Godfrey’s Grocery & Bait is right down the road and has anything you need. We went to Hackensack -7-8 miles away to get adult beverages they also have a cute strip of restaurants, & ice cream shop- playground & beach

This was our first time staying at Airbnb so was sure how the process would go. It was so easy. Our vacation home was beautiful ! The communication with the host was awesome! It was perfect for our family. We enjoyed the pontoon and campfires at night! We would rent this place again for a family get together!

Our stay at the vacation home was fantastic! The place was clean and well-kept, with beautiful scenery all around. The fishing was excellent, and the pontoon rental made it even more enjoyable. The staff were attentive and made sure we had everything we needed. Highly recommend!
