Date of Stay: September 2009
My husband, 10 month old son, dog and I stayed at this cabin for a week. Everything exceeded our expectations. The cabin was very clean, had all amenities listed, everything was in working order and all in all it was a home away from home. We had plenty of room and could have easily shared the cabin with another small family. On site laundry was a huge bonus!
Hosts were outstanding and available for all our questions and needs. They are great!
I'd classify this as a two bedroom cabin, although by looking at the next comment, I see why it has to be called a one bedroom. Plenty of room at this cabin though!
Fishing is great, hiking is good, lake was very nice and quiet when we were there. Local golf is good too. It was very nice to be within 15 minutes of a town with a grocery store, especially with an infant.
this was a very peaceful and relaxing vacation that lives up to its description and we have no complaints. We plan to return- we all had a great time!
Grade A+++++!

Our return to Kego was as good as we remembered.

You will want to return to Kego. I drive through the tunnel of trees in anticipation. There it is, the light at the end of the tree tunnel, a beautiful, secluded, private log cabin. Get away from the fast pace of the rat race. Stay at Kego. What do I see... From the outside, a beautiful real log cabin perched on the edge of a lovely lake. Inside, all the comforts of home, modern full bathroom with jacuzzi tub, surround sound, DVD, Satellite TV, enough sleeping for 8 or 10. I recommend sleeping in the sunroom above the boat house. Walk to the end of the room, look down, and see the ripples of the lake lapping at the shore. Look out and see the two islands on the lake. Magnificent views of the sun rays melting the mist on the lake are provided in the early morning from the bed in this room. The main room in the cabin looks like a log cabin should look. The back bedroom is as modern as modern can be. The side bedroom just off the main room is comfy and rustic. We love the cabin but spend most of our time outside. Sitting in the gazebo, in the yard by the fire pit, or on the dock are all great relaxation spots. We like hiking through the woods, boating, fishing, swimming and just taking it easy. Just take it easy. No neighbors, barking dogs or traffic, just privacy, peace and quiet. This property is everything and more than one could expect. Whether you are the Jetsons or the Flintstones you will feel at home here. The owners Ruth and Fred are fantastic people and are more than accommodating. We want to return to Kego. Tami, Jeff and family

Review Submitted: June 30, 2009
Date of Stay: June 2009
Wildlife, hospitality, serenity, peace just about describe this place. Eagles, ospreys, deer, loons and so much more. Did I mention the fishing?
We are townies but revelled in the tranquility of Kego Lake. One of about 15,000 lakes we believe but it was wonderful. We still believe though that NZ's trout are the best!
Don't believe the 'brochure' though - there are two bedrooms although I think Ruth described the one looking over the lake as the 'porch'. We Kiwis have trouble with the language.
Marvellous stay - oh yes! Just to prove it we extended our stay until the next guests arrived.

Owner's Response: We are thoroughly enjoying the fact that others are able to appreciate our 'special' get-away retreat as much as we do.
Our 'porch' or 'sun room' does make a lovely bedroom, however, with no closet we cannot classify it as a 'bedroom'. It is the preferred room to sleep for all who stay at the cabin.
(PS: NZ Trout = New Zealand Trout.)

My son (27) and I stayed over the Labor Day weekend. I was joined by my wife the last few days. Weather was perfect, fishing and golfing a-okay. As always, when you book a place you have never seen before, you are a bit nervous. Well, Ruth & Fred's cabin exceeded all my expectations. Neat, clean, private and in excellent working order. The cabin has great old log character along with new & modern conveniences. I have vacationed in this area for ~30 years and will return to this cabin. Very happy with my decision to stay here!

What a wonderful stay! I relished the quiet, being tucked away in the woods, and being so near the lake. It was a delight to go to bed at night and listen to the water on the rocks below and the loons calling in the distance. The cabin is well-kept and stocked with everything I could dream of needing. Ruth and Fred were most gracious in their help with renting. Thank you so much!
Owner's Response: Thank you Ruth. We could hardly tell anyone had stayed at the cabin and appreciate your care in it's use. Welcome back any time. Ruth & Fred

This place is amazing! The views from the cabin are breathtaking and you really feel like you are "away from it all". The cabin is very nice and clean. Feels like home away from home.
We had a great time and made lots of memories at this cabin.

I had an 0pportunity to visit this property with two of my dearest friends a couple of summers ago just to get away and catch up with them. The setting could not have been more beautiful. Anyone who has ever gone "up north" for their vacation will definitely appreciate the experience. One night stands out after fresh fish were caught and prepared while we sat around the fire reminiscing. Don't miss a great restaurant in town where they serve walleye and wild rice as you will not find any where else. Sorry, I can't remember the name of the place, but guess what...it was on a lake.

This is paradise just a little less than 3 hours away. We LOVE coming to this cabin. It is cozy, clean, and comfortable. The deer and other wildlife are fun to watch. The lake is beautiful! Fred & Ruth are WONDERFUL hosts, and all they want is for you to be happy. We have one daughter, ten years old and we never have to worry about her being bored! We get great pictures every year to display at our home. It is truly a quiet, place and very secluded. A great place to get away for a couple of days or a couple of weeks!!!!!!!!

Stunningly Beautiful. Your search is over... We stayed at the cabin Memorial Weekend and found the place to be absolutely wonderful. This is a real log cabin nestled in the woods very near the water and totally secluded. The peace and quite along with the stunning sunsets makes this place our most favorite. The cabin has all the comforts of home including satelite TV. Although we spent most our time sitting outside listening to the birds and wildlife and just plain relaxing. There is no better place to spend time away from all the noise and busy life styles we face. Fred and Ruth are great hosts and always there should you need them. We want to sincerely thank you for sharing your slice of Heaven with us.
Owner's Response: We are fortunate to own this property and we enjoy sharing it with others who appreciate it's natural qualities. We look forward to your return. Ruth & Fred Strohmeier

WOW! AMAZING! If you are looking for a secluded real log cabin with the ammenities of home then this will be for you. The sounds of the Loons will put you to bed and the sunrise on the lake will greet you when you awake. If you choose to sleep in the sunroom, as my wife and I did, you will be rewarded with an outstanding view of the lake from bed. My daughter chose to sleep in the master bedroom as it is fit for a queen, or in this case a princess. My son slept in the bedroom in the main part of the cabin. These arrangments were nice as we could arise whenever, without disturbing each other. We had a fabulous time fishing, swimming, hiking and just relaxing. You can spend many hours watching the hummingbirds race to and fro in search of their next snack. Bring your binochulars to search the islands on the lake for Bald eagles or even better yet take your boat and explore them. There is an abundance of wildlife to be seen. You could bring a DVD to watch and listen to through the excellent sound system, but I doubt you will want to waste anytime watching TV as you will be soaking in the beauty of the cabin and its surroundings. I cannot explain in words how wonderful a vacation we had at the cabin. It was a fantastic experience for my teenage children as well as for my wife and I. I think my children were surprised to find that they were not bored, even without all of their electronic gizmos that everyone seems to "need" nowdays. If you do feel a need for a trip to town there are several within a short distance for all of your needs and the scenery along the way is great. The owners are super people and we are very thankful to them for allowing us to stay in such a wonderful place. Thank you, Thank you, Thank you! Everyone should experience this.
Owner's Response: Thank you Jeff and Tami. You were ideal guests for us and left the cabin impeccably clean as well as leaving us some fun and creative thank you notes. We look forward to your return. Ruth & Fred Strohmeier
