Nice family getaway
Great location for a long weekend with family. Cabin was spacious for our group of 6 adults. The dock was nice for parking or 16’ boat with electricity close for charging. Excellent outdoor space for grilling and outdoor family dining and good to hang out and enjoy the lake view. Nights were spent around the fire pit. Overall-great place to enjoy family time and fishing!

Family get away
Our family had a great time staying in this cabin. Everything was clean and had went above and beyond what we expected to be included in our rental. Everyone had a great review for this property except one person, I leaned on the side of caution and regret the unnecessary extra packing I did. Everything is there that you would need. Towels, spices full kitchen with air fryer, blender, etc household products. The property manager communicated well during our trip and was there when we needed him or had questions 10/10! Would love to go back! Thanks for a great time

Nice stay for a girl's weekend
The communication from the property manager was very good. The property itself was nice with plenty of space for five adults. Comfortable beds and nice kitchen. It would have been nice if the listing stated the dock was across a road. Very weedy so challenging to swim. The cabin could use a few little updates - lots of cobwebs and scuffs on the wall, missing lightbulbs, not many mirrors. All in all it was a very fun weekend.

Very Disappointing!
The front screen door latch was broken, and the entire outside of the house was covered with grass, dirt, bugs, and cobwebs. The broken screen door would slam every time we used it. Once inside, it was obvious that the place had not been cleaned possibly all summer. I cleaned the filthy bathroom before we felt it was usable. The dirt I got off the floor alone was sickening. The bedroom carpets had not been vacuumed and we swept behind the living room chair to find gobs of dust, dirt, and even food wrappers. Every lamp was full of cobwebs, and dust was thick throughout the place. The lighting in the place was terrible, especially in the kitchen and dining areas. The kitchen had so many missing light bulbs that it was difficult to see after dark. We found spare light bulbs, none fit the lights in the kitchen or over the sink, where they were needed most. The floor throughout the home was so unlevel, that we had to be careful not to trip, especially in the dining area, where there was a sinkhole near the side wall. The supplies they provided were a joke. There were four bath towels and four washcloths for two people for 7 nights, no hand soap in the bathroom, no spare trash bags, no dishcloths, and two rolls of toilet paper for the week. We had to buy toilet paper, trash bags, hand soap and antibacterial wipes ourselves.The igniter on the grill was broken. Outdoor furniture not usable.Internet very weak!

Family getaway
Beautiful area. Nice place to get away with the family. Just an FYI that should be better noted is that there are no TVs in any bedroom. It would have been nice to have. The weather wasn’t great for us so having TV time for unwinding is something we assumed was a norm to have.

Such a great little lake house
My husband, our 3 boys and I stayed for about 3 days. It was such a nice quiet getaway. The dock was great for a little fishing that my boys had fun doing. Was very close to most things that we wanted to do. Had such a great time!

Excellent property & great location
Property is very user friendly, clean, and a great location. It’s located in a protected bay, so boat did not smash on the dock when parked overnight. I would highly recommend

Wonderful stay!
Beautiful cabin and truly enjoyed our stay! Just a couple things to keep in mind with two families (8 people) the grill was a little small and the pictures didn’t show a road on between the lake and cabin which wasn’t an issue but would have been nice to know with little kids because cars and golf carts came by often. Still loved our stay, location and beautiful views! Would definitely consider staying here again!
