Two nights was not long enough. This cottage is peaceful, quiet, clean, comfortable. Nothing fancy, but well appointed with modern appliances and good AC. Perfect for relaxing on the porch, viewing the lake, enjoying coffee, conversing, reading and just enjoying the down time. Shanna's directions were very accurate. Mileage from Hwy80 to the cottage is 10.2. It seemed longer driving through beautiful farmlands. Loved our time there. Note: buy groceries prior to arriving.

The hosts were extremely helpful and showed us the best of southern hospitality. The rental was on a secluded section of the river with outstanding views. The fishing and kayaking were my favorites. I loved being able to wake up in bed in the mornings and see the water from the master bedroom. The porch also has great views, a TV and a gentle breeze making it cool even though it was 95 degrees outside. The cabin is very well stocked. All you need to bring is your clothes, food, and toiletries. Blaze the giant chocolate lab come over and hung out with our dogs all weekend. He was a big teddy bear. We are DEFINITELY COMING BACK AND WOULD RECOMMEND if you enjoy getting away and spending time in nature with comfort.

I think ai finally found true Southern Hospitality here. Great communication with the host, fast responses. Very kind people. Lovely view, great fishing, kayaking, walks and daily greeting with a gorgeous chocolate lab from the Neibough. If we have to come to Selma again this will be our go to cabin. Fabulous time.

We enjoyed our stay, and were very very grateful for the hospitality of Shanna! My only suggestion would be to screen in the porch, so we could enjoy the lights at night without mosquito's! Thanks for everything

River Life

This cozy cabin surpassed our expectations. It was absolutely spotless and beautifully decorated. Our host went above and beyond to make sure we felt at home. My husband and I had an amazing time, and we will be booking with Shauna & Robbie again. Our next visit will be nothing short of enjoying the River & Fishing with no work going on. p.s. I loved the greeting on the fireplace, Shauna gave us. It was picture worthy for memories. Thanks, Michelle
