Parking was a bit tough with the three trucks and boats but with good communication from the host and putting our heads together we finally figured out a good working process for that. The house was roomy and nice and fit everything we were needing on that end. Would recommend this house and host to anyone.

First impression pulling up is a bit scary, but inside this place was really nice. There is definitely some upkeep needed that could be done without much cost and would really improve the curb appeal. This is a double wide trailer with broken blinds. Our given keycode did not work, which definitely had us scared that we were in the wrong place and trying to break into someone's house. Contacted the host several ways and pretty quickly, they provided a different code for us to enter. There is also some small maintenance issues inside that should be repaired, but overall, inside was great. There was plenty of room for everyone to relax and the beds were very comfortable. Location is very close to lake access. Unfortunately, we were only here for 2 nights with a full Monday and a lot of local stuff was closed on Mondays, so access to dining options was limited. Just noting so you can be prepared to bring what you need. I'm jealous of the kitchen so cooking here would not be a problem!

Our entire family had lots of fun after days on the lake resting on the deck while the kids played basketball and shuffleboard. Plenty of towels and spacious kitchen to cook in. Would definitely recommend for a big group.

Cozy and accommodating

The place was clean and spacious enough for our family to be comfortable and even though the weather didn't cooperate for a lot of lake time the cottage was very welcoming. We all loved listening to the rain on the metal roof of the screened in front porch. I will definitely be recommending this place to friends and quite possibly staying there again

First of all this is not a Cottage on the lake. This is a doublewide trailer in a trailer park/campground setting. I didn't even know if I was at the right place because I was expecting something different upon arrival so since there was no house number on the property I wasn't sure. I went to use the code on the backdoor that they told me to use and it didn't work. Luckily he answered when I called and gave me a working code. The only thing good I can say is it was roomy. Because of the setting there were people riding golf carts with loud music all the way up to 1145 at night. The furnace cover was filthy as well as the front door and I wouldn't have cooked for my dog on that grill. On the first night I went to pull my covers back in the master bedroom and found a centipede under the covers. When we returned home we discovered that my husband had left his pistol in the master bedroom nightstand. I have messaged the owner 2 times and my husband has tried calling and he will not get back to us. I guess we will let the sheriff's office take care of that. I don't think we are the only unhappy family as the guest book has a lot of pages ripped out of it with only favorable comments in it. Pictures that I took are below. The 1st is the centipede in the bed 2 the furnace cover which the thermostat said needed to be change along with the refrigerator filter 3 is the grille top 4 is the front door that could easily be cleaned with a magic eraser sponge I paid 150 clea

About the host

Hosted by Chase & Kristin Mathis

Host profile image
Meet Chase and Kristin, we are full of life and crazy, in a good way. We have 4 lovely kiddos and all six of us are always on the next adventure. We love the lake, hence the house, and make time to have a "lake break" any chance we get. We hope to share this home with you so you can see why we love the lake and this lake house too.

Why they chose this property

This house is simple and spacious. The thing about the lake that is priceless is the serenity and the ability to clear your mind and recharge your batteries. So relaxing, chilling out, or hiking, boating, swimming, or being still to take in the here and now..... all those reasons are why we bought this house. We chose this house because it's close enough to the action to walk, but far enough to be alone. Good food is next door, but so is fishing at the dock. It's the best of both worlds under one roof. Enjoy.
