Modern, clean, cute cabin. Perfect for families or couples. It is secluded behind another property in a quiet area, which is nice. I will say that if you are bringing a boat, be aware it is extremely difficult to back it in down the road (more like an alleyway) and into the driveway given the tight location.

The property was welcoming to pets. The lack of rugs.carpet made it a bit challenging for our older corgi, Winn Dixie to walk well (without traction) through the house, Host was east to reach and communicate with, the kitchen was well appointed, with everything we needed at our fingertips. Beds were comfy, shower was appropriately powerful. Very nice stay. Would return.

Comfortable house near the Lake. Nicely decorated and the kitchen was well stocked. The roads were a little rough, I'd recommend a 4 wheel drive or a vehicle that sits up high. The owner was very helpful and quick to respond.
