A Perfect Lake Weekend

Only one word "Perfect". We stayed here in October 2021 and only thing was the driveway being dirt and messy after a rain. Well it's now concrete, so stay there if you can, you won't be disappointed. Clean, well kept, and minutes from a launch ramp.

great labor day weekend

Images were a bit misleading for the property itself, and relevance to the lake. We were surprised to find the house at the entrance to a neighborhood, with the porch and wall of windows to the living room facing the road. So, no privacy. Enjoyed our stay nonetheless!

Great modern experience!

Very happy. The property was clean and modern. Very comfortable and stocked with kitchen utensils. If internet calling is needed, you may need to intitialize wifi calling, but i needed to get a cellular bar signal outside as well. After i did this calling was good.Check in is a little late in the day at 4pm. Great place. 5 stars.

Good Stay- just needs a few fixes.

Our stay was good. The owner was very easy to get ahold, but just a few issues that can be easily fixed.. The floor was pretty dirty and the shower drain had hair in it. Also, the owner states there is little service, he isn't lying. There is NO service, so be sure to screenshot the instructions so you can get in the house and have WiFi. I have Verizon service and even going to the boat ramp did not work. I would suggest to the owner just to have the WiFi password written down somewhere.

The area was incredibly quiet and peaceful, which made for a truly restful getaway. We thoroughly enjoyed our stay and would definitely recommend it to anyone looking for a relaxing escape.

We enjoyed our stay even with a little rain. We loved sitting out on the deck with our dog. The area is very peaceful. Probably the only drawback was there were dogs running loose but the host doesn't have any control over that.Thanks Jason!

Really enjoyed the quiet, peaceful downtime in the cute cabin. No TV in living room meant more time doing things together like games and puzzles. More conversation! Would definitely stay again!
