Clean, Efficient, Little Cabin on a Beautiful Lake.

Great cabin, with great host. One of the cleanest and best organized cabin we have stayed in. The hill back and forth from the dock was a bit of a chore, but got used to it by the end of our stay. The dock is a great place to fish for catfish in the evenings.

Wonderful for relaxing!

My husband and I just wanted a couple of days away to relax and this was perfect for us! Cute and cozy with a fantastic view and peaceful atmosphere. They provided a clean and comfortable space to stay, water activities we could use on the lake, firepit, and even some snacks. More than we even expected for how reasonably priced it was. Thanks for a great time!

Amazing!

I’ve used this rental in the past. This time it was just me and my dog. The peace and quiet of rental is amazing. The hosts Kris and matt are wonderful! They made sure we were taken care if we needed anything. They are both super nice and friendly. The sight from the cabin is breathtaking. All around one of my favorite I will continue to book at!
