The property was nice but small. We enjoyed the screened porch on the back. There are no views and no direct lake access. The lake is accessible in the neighborhood, but it is a short drive or long walk so the pictures are misleading. There is a playground for little kids that is nice.

We had the most wonderful, relaxing, and peaceful experience at Time Well Wasted! The cabin was very clean, cozy, and comfortable. The bed was comfortable, and the hosts were amazing to work with. The location is perfect, surrounded by nature without feeling too secluded. There are several cabins on the property, spaced far enough apart for privacy while still giving a sense of community rather than feeling completely alone. The lake is within walking distance and has a seating area already set up.
