**Enjoy feeding our pet turtles and catfish at the waters edge with fish food available

culture of trust that when these turtles, catfish, and bream see a person coming to
the pier, they assume we are there to feed them, not catch them. BUT, there are
plenty of bass at the end of the pier for bass fishermen.

Amazing!!

Me and my family really enjoyed the stay , there was food to feed the fish , house full of pots, pans and utensils to cook with. The Cabin looks just like the pictures but as for the feel that you get being at the cabin you can’t beat that it felt like you were inside a book. the screened in porch was definitely a hit for our group and being able to have the ability to have a fire and roast marshmallows was amazing for us. Already talking about going again soon !!!

The house, porch and property were very clean. The host anticipated everything that a guest would need and had it ready for us including shampoo / toiletries, fire-starter bricks, a refrigerator filled with ice cold bottled water and sun screen. Any information that we needed was clearly communicated both inside the lake house and electronically. The lake house was charming and beautifully designed. I felt like I stepped back in time to a rustic (but posh) summer cabin on a lake. I loved the shaded property, feeding the turtles, the party lights and the screened doors.

great time!

stayed over the AU v GA football weekend and had a great time! The cabin was perfect for what we needed and only about 40 minutes from the stadium. Beautiful view of the lake and very relaxing, feeding the turtles and catfish was a trip! Will definitely look into staying again on our next ballgame weekend.

Perfect cabin for family getaway

Our family had a fantastic time at Johnny's cabin on the lake. Everything about the experience was great. Johnny is very responsive and helped throughout our stay with anything we needed. Also, he has a boat you can rent, which makes it so easy and convenient to spend some time boating around the lake. We will definitely be back!

Perfect Cabin on Lake

This cabin is the perfect location for a low-key end of year getaway. Especially if you love watching geese, ducks and fish. The cabin itself is simple but you can tell the owner thought through everything about the guest's experience. It is very comfortable and equipped for days in or out. We spent most of the time on the back porch listening to the lake sounds. We hope to visit again.

Cozy Cabin

We greatly enjoyed the cabin. My favorite part was the deck built around the oak tree. We had a blast on the pontoon, and it was such a treat to have it available on location. The welcoming touches were appreciated also. Feeding the family fish and turtles in the lake was relaxing. I just loved this property and its location on the lake.
