Cute cabin on beautiful lake

Cabin was small as we expected but served our needs for a few days. It worked out perfect. It was a beautiful location and I loved watching the sunrise and sunsets. Kids loved to fish and swim. Floyd the owner was a great communicator and I would definitely go back!

Nice, small cabin… perfect size for the two of us. Easy to communicate with the host. Clean and included all stated amenities. Wonderful view. Peaceful and quiet during the week, more people around as weekend approached as expected.
