This place was absolutely amazing. The pictures don't do it justice at all. This place was beautiful. The property manager was very nice and helpful. This cabin was completely stocked with everything you could think of. Very peaceful and relaxing, close to town and the lake. We will definitely be back again. Hands down 5 stars.

Awesome Getaway!

Stayed with my two boys (12 & 9) and we had a great time! Perfect secluded getaway for outdoor lovers! Public beach close by and town only about 15 minutes away. House was very nice and clean. My 9 year old was the fisher winner catching about 25 fish. We caught bass, bluegill and sunfish. All nice size fish! Shooting range was also a lot of fun! Bonfires with s’mores every night. Great time, highly recommended and hope to return again.

The house was by far the cleanest Vrbo I’ve ever stayed at. Very family friendly. The grandkids and dads got to fish in the stocked pond. Communication with the host was top notch! We will definitely come back.
