The location was great! The lake was beautiful and peaceful. The host was very responsive when there was an issue with the wi-fi. The service provider was there within an hour of me texting her.

Thank you so much for staying at our lake cottage. Glad you enjoyed your stay and hope you come again soon
Ruby!
The home is very comfortable. The living room area has many seating options and all are welcoming. The kitchen has all the necessities and has a window looking out on the fall leaves. Sitting in the screened in porch or the living room gives you a great view of the lake. The beds are very comfortable and the master bedroom is very large. I had a chance to communicate with the owners and they were very friendly and accommodating. A great place to stay

Stayed with family a few nights and really enjoyed it. Water front with lots of room. Big back yard that kids had room to run and play. Home had all the necessities and then some. Would stay again and plan to do so!
We had a great time at this property! Loved the dock and the cove was perfect for kayaking. Did a little fishing and bird watching too! Loved our time away from home and will stay here again!
Thanks Lori, glad you enjoyed your stay. Please come again! Thank you, Ruby

About the host
Hosted by Ruby Anderson or Wayne Anderson
After having spent many vacations at Lake Sinclair, my husband and I decided to buy our own place here so we could bring our family and friends to enjoy the lake with us. We come here often to spend time with our children and 6 grand children, we really love watching the grand children swim and fish from the dock. Since this is our vacation home we love sharing it with others to enjoy also.
Why they chose this property
We really enjoy the quietness of the area and the convenience of the location. It’s very close, within 10 minutes of everything you need. Being able watch the wildlife like deer, chipmunks, and hummingbirds, to name a few, is also an extra enjoyment.
What makes this property unique
This is location is one of the better locations on the lake for convenience and easy access to the marinas and bait and tackle equipment.
