The owner was very communicative the stay was great the location was very close to a boat ramp. The internet was a little spotty but if you're trying to escape it's probably better that way

Great place! Close to the boat dock. Parking is tight if you have a boat. Bed was comfortable and it was clean. It could use some new towels and pillows.

It was clean, quiet, and really enjoyable. I don’t recommend opening the sliding glass doors. They were really hard to close and lock back.

Awesome A-frame Cabin

Photos & details were spot on!! Just 2 of us but plenty of room if 1-2 kids. Stocked with everything we needed. Porch sitting is great!! Definitely booking again. Loved the sign-in book and fresh flowers too 💐 Thank you for a relaxing weekend 😃

A Perfect Lake Weekend

Only one word "Perfect". We stayed here in October 2021 and only thing was the driveway being dirt and messy after a rain. Well it's now concrete, so stay there if you can, you won't be disappointed. Clean, well kept, and minutes from a launch ramp.

great labor day weekend

Images were a bit misleading for the property itself, and relevance to the lake. We were surprised to find the house at the entrance to a neighborhood, with the porch and wall of windows to the living room facing the road. So, no privacy. Enjoyed our stay nonetheless!

Great modern experience!

Very happy. The property was clean and modern. Very comfortable and stocked with kitchen utensils. If internet calling is needed, you may need to intitialize wifi calling, but i needed to get a cellular bar signal outside as well. After i did this calling was good.Check in is a little late in the day at 4pm. Great place. 5 stars.

Good Stay- just needs a few fixes.

Our stay was good. The owner was very easy to get ahold, but just a few issues that can be easily fixed.. The floor was pretty dirty and the shower drain had hair in it. Also, the owner states there is little service, he isn't lying. There is NO service, so be sure to screenshot the instructions so you can get in the house and have WiFi. I have Verizon service and even going to the boat ramp did not work. I would suggest to the owner just to have the WiFi password written down somewhere.

I am sorry about the problems with the cleanliness of the cabin. Our housekeeper is amazing and we usually get compliments on how clean it is! I have addressed this with her and I apologize for that, it’s certainly not how I want it for any guest. I do appreciate the feedback.

The house was very clean and the perfect size for our 3 person family. The beds were very comfortable and the area was very quiet and peaceful. We brought our boat and you're within walking distance to the ramp. We would love to go back in the future!

Lakehouse was beautiful. Quiet, except for the occassional carts driving by. For an anniversary, the lack of cell service and bad network diiid give my husband and i more time for each other, BUUUT having one of those would have been nice. Bedroom didnt get very cool, making it a bit hard to sleep, as well. The living room door blinds were missing some pieces, so the concern for privacy, especially at night, was a bit concerning.Regardless, we enjoyed the time there together.
