Farmer fall vacation
The cabin was amazing. Beautiful inside and out. The only thing I would recommend is to check the jets on the hot tub…some of then didn’t work. We loved both screened in porches and enjoyed the fire pit every night. It was a little out of the way to enjoy the lake when we went to Conley Bottom Marina…

They thought of everything!
This location was beautiful, clean and very spacious. I especially loved that the kitchen was labeled so we could easily find things. Felt very safe. Check in/check out process was easy. Location is a ways off the main highway so we had to plan ahead with groceries. We would definitely stay and recommend this location.

Great location and layout
Stayed with my adult kids and two young grandsons. The location to the pool (right across the street) was ideal and so was the layout of the cabin with the downstairs having a bedroom, bathroom and large den of its own. Would definitely stay again.
