A great place for vacation!

My husband and I came to this great rental with our two grown daughters, a son-in-law, a granddaughter, and a golden retriever. We couldn't have asked for a better place to stay. We came for the relaxation, rest, and fishing, and that is exactly what we got! We caught enough crappie to bring home and have a fish fry. The beds are SUPER comfortable - my back hasn't felt so good getting out of bed in ages! The home and property was very cleaned and well-maintained. You could take your pick - sit in the recliners on the air conditioned porch, or sit at the table and eat on the screened-in porch! Both with a fantastic view of the lake! Our last day, our car broke down, and we had to extend checking out time until late in the evening. Chris was absolutely wonderful and SO accommodating - you couldn't ask for a nicer owner! Thanks, Chris! I would definitely recommend this property to anyone desiring to have a great, relaxing vacation at the lake! Tony and Gayle Sapp

Could not have been more pleased with our stay. Neighbor came by to let us know that we could use the neighborhood boat ramp right around the corner which saved us from having to drive all the way to the marina. This was a very nice, clean rental. Would come back again!

Tranquil Waterfront Winter!

Guest Michigan Snowbirds

Review Submitted 04/03/13

This place was a great getaway from our Michigan winters for the 4 months we stayed here! Our cove was very peaceful through the winter months. We kayaked, sat on the deck, basked in the sun in the sunroom, and if we'd been any more relaxed, we may have lapsed into a coma! The house itself was very comfortable; we loved the fireplace and the 2 complete en suite bedrooms. The beds were very good, the kitchen well stocked with kitchen pots/pans/utensils. Chris is a very unobtrusive landlord, but readily available if needed. Our cleaning ladies, Sandra and Bonnie, were a delight! Plenty to do and see in the area, great nearby restaurants, movie theatres, historic landmarks, yet we were secluded from hustle and bustle. Our dogs were welcomed, and enjoyed watching the daily turkey buzzard gathering in a neighboring tree at sunset! Lovely Southern hospitality. We felt very safe and secure in the area. The only downside to the property is that it is steeply raked, and although we could move comfortably through the house, I personally had problems with walking to/from the dock and house and road, as I have many disabilities. Great for families, kids; not so much for handicapped or elderly. This is not a complaint, just my personal observation/problem. Thanks, Chris, for making our second winter of retirement a very enjoyable one!

We arrived Friday and came home today (Sunday). The house is nice and welcoming. Plenty of room for the two of us. Everything was in good working order. Our one concern was that because we checked out on a Sunday, the place where we take trash was closed, so we had to ride home with our trash (not a good experience). Otherwise, we had a good time. :)

Thank you Chris for allowing our family to enjoy your lovely home. It is a nice place. It is everything that the description stated. I would highly recommend this property to anyone. So nice to be able to bring our dog Sadie along.We also brought our 26ft sailboat. Had a great time on the lake with perfect weather. We look forward to returning some day soon.

Terrific Stay

Date of stay 08/27/12
Review Submitted 10/01/12

The entire experience was wonderful! The owner was very quick to reply and very easy to deal with throughout all communications from prior to arrival to after our check out. The property is even more delightful than described and the photos don't do this property justice. The neighborhood was quiet and the lake is beautiful. We only caught catfish off the dock but it was rather late in the season I am told. Regardless, we had a wonderful time fishing and relaxing with our family. I would recommend this vacation rental to anyone needing a getaway and relaxation. Our family including our dog enjoyed our week visit very much and would love to return! Thank you!

After some intensive searching, we found that the Woodhaven home was one of the best deals on the Lake, especially during the week of 4th of July. We booked it expecting a less than perfect experience, but we were very pleasantly surprised by the clean, well-stocked home. It's a bit of a walk from the house to the dock, but I preferred that since I have young children. We spoke with the neighbor who told us about a much closer boat ramp than Crooked Creek Marina, which was nice. All in all, it was a great vacation, and we will probably book again in this home.

Thanks Chris for letting us use your home for our get away! The house was very comfortable. We were able to get in two good days of fishing. Our trip was also great because we could bring our two Boston Terriers. We can recommend this place for anyone to stay and catch some bass Thanks again. Ronnie

I rented this place once, I rented it a second time, and I would be happy to rent it again. This property is perfect for a family fishing trip. We never left the dock and caught many sizable crappies throughout the day. The house itself has everything you could need or want. Fully equipped kitchen, nice HD Sony Wega, big comfortable beds, screened in sunporch, air-conditioned sun porch, and great big yard. Excellent dock with boathouse for fishing and swimming. You can tell that the owners care about their property and the comfort of their guests.

We really needed this break from our crazy schedules! The area was quiet, and my husband caught a lot of bass. The children enjoyed the room to run, and we loved taking our dogs on vacation with us. We liked putting the dogs on the covered back porch in their cages at night; we also liked the table on the back porch for the children. The weather was perfect all week! We also caught quite a few brim off the dock with crickets...the children had a blast! The beds were so comfortable; we wrote down the names of both matresses because we slept so well!

We took our son and his girlfriend and our 2 basset hounds to this lovely house on Lake Sinclair. My son just returned from a year in Afghanistan so we were hoping the place would live up to the advertisement...We were THRILLED! My son said, "I thought this place was going to be a dump! This is GREAT!" We had a wonderful time swimming and fishing right off the dock. Thanks for a wonderful vacation - we couldn't be happier and would highly recommend this property to anyone with pets and small children. And Chris is a total pleasure to deal with! And now I highly recommend the shrimp and grits at Crooked Creek Marina! Connie and Dave Cone, Rocky Face, GA

This was our 2nd stay at this house. This time we brought our daughter and 10 yr old twins. It was a great week. They fished every day and really enjoyed eating the fish. The accomodations were perfect for our family. The area was extremely educational for the children. We all felt very comfortable and at home. Thanks to our hosts for providing a welcome and pleasant experience.

My husband, myself & our "4-legged" son spent a full week @ this location. It truly is everything that the the description stated + more. The home is decorated very nicely, the beds are so comfy and the screened-in porch is the very best overlooking the lake. We not only would recommend this home, but hope to get back there again in the near future. If you do go - eat at the Bone Island Grille @Crooked Creek Marina. The food is excellent & the service was great. Thanks, Chris, for sharing this remarkable home!!!!!

My family and I spent Thanksgiving at this home. I was so impressed! I have never stayed in a vacation home that was fully stocked as this one. There was even cold beer in the fridge!! They even had coffee, creamers, even dog food!! Wow! We did not have to go out for anything the first night. I highly recommend this home!

Nicely furnished two bedroom home on the lake. Small but cozy. Comfortable beds. Small a/c unit had a hard time keeping up with the warm September weather. One bathroom had a toilet issue. Lights on dock did not work - flipped all switches and even the circuit breaker after we located it. Sent message to owner but no action to fix. Fisherman in our group was very disappointed about this, but overall we did have a nice stay and enjoyed our time on the lake.

The house was great. The beds were so comfortable! We really appreciated your pet-friendly attitude. We also appreciated your prompt attention to the bathroom situation we had. We felt like the lake amenities needed a little TLC. For example, we were worried that we would slip on the steps going into the lake; the handrail seemed like it would break. Also, a large umbrella and table would have been nice while enjoying the lake. Overall, though, we really enjoyed the vacation at your place. Thanks.

All I can say is that the pictures of the home are dead on, the place is very very nice, cozy cozy cozy! Quiet area on the lake, caught fish off the dock and had them for supper, just had a blast. The owners are super nice and have furnished the place like they live there (husband LOVED the TV). We will be back again and next time hope to stay for a few weeks. This is a little gem!!!

My family just finished out one week rental of this home and couldn't be happier for finding it or sadder for having to leave. Lot's of nice "touches" like the HDTV, ice cream, comfortable beds, air-conditioned sun porch, and internet access. Owner checked in when I arrived, while I was there, and before I left. Couldn't be happier with the rental. Plenty to do in the area. State parks close by. Excellent restaurant at the Crooked Creek marina only 4 miles away.

We really enjoyed our quiet get-away on Lake Sinclair! Everything was provided to make the stay comfortable and care-free. Plenty of room for the dogs to "snoop" and "sniff". We especially enjoyed watching the sun set from the sun porch. Perfect! We'll be back.

My daughter and I stayed at this wonderful little house and loved it from the minute we drove up to it. The house has everything you could possibly need for your stay, the owners have went out of their way to give it a personal touch that will keep you wanting to come back every chance you get. The ameneties are above anywhere we have ever stayed at Lake Sinclair. It's absolutely beautiful and my daughter and I will be back as often as possible. If you can't get the weekend you want that will be because I have it. Kay and Hope Gentle, Owens Crossroads, AL

We had a few days off this week and cruised VRBO to find a getaway for a few days. We found this place and could not have been happier. We stay in a good bit of rentals, and this by far is one of the top 3. Very very nice place, like a "home". The property was beautiful, close to the boat launch and the most comfortable bed I ever slept in. Owners are gracious host, and we will become regulars!!! Thanks for everything.!!! Judy Rhiles P.S. I ate someones bag of Cheetos :-)

Owner response: That bag of Cheetos just cost you $2.99 Mr! :-)
