Great little spot

Out in the country, but great little getaway spot. Would recommend bringing your own food to cook not a lot in driving distance unless you want to drive to just outside Bham.

Wonderful, quiet little place!

This place was a wonderful quiet little retreat. My husband and I enjoyed relaxing and fishing. It was very clean and the host was excellent to communicate with. If I had any complaints at all it would be to add some curtains in the bedroom as it was very bright in there. Other than that it was perfect!

One of our favorite stays

From the start the hosts were so accommodating, communicative, and kind. The property was beautiful and clean. There was so much to do as the property included kayaks, fishing poles, a paddle boat, and so much more. Even the neighbors were very kind to us and let us use their dock for fishing. The kitchen was well stocked with spices, utensils, plates, etc. and everything else we needed. We came here to evacuate from the hurricane but ended up having a lovely family vacation that we will remember forever.

Great Lakeside Experience

We had a wonderful time at this cozy lakeside cabin. We enjoyed kayaking on the lake and afterwards sitting on the deck overlooking a beautiful view of the water, listening to all the surrounding birds and just enjoying the quiet lake experience. The cabin was well supplied for all of our cooking needs and was also nicely furnished including a washer and dryer. We enjoyed watching several movies after enjoying our meal. Morning coffee on the deck was also very pleasant. We would highly recommend and hope to return to the lake house in the near future.
