My brothers and I spent three wonderful days in the tiny cabin. Although it says tiny, it was very roomy and comfortable. There were two bedrooms with a bed in the loft. All were comfortable. Each room has its own ac system that can be adjusted to fit your needs. I like it warm, but my brothers like it a little cooler. The mini-split units worked out great. Although we did not cook, the kitchen was well stocked and even had an air fryer. We had two boats and the dock has plenty of room for both. There is a public landing nearby to launch your boat. This area of the lake gives you easy access to the main lake and the river above the lake. You will not have an issue with shallow water. The water is 30 feet deep just off the dock. If you like wildlife, you will love the deer that walk by. The hosts were great and very friendly. I would strongly recommend this to anyone. We will be going back.

Thank you for such a thoughtful review. We're so glad the cabin felt roomy and comfortable despite its name. It's great to hear that the dock had plenty of room for both boats with easy access to the main lake and river. The deep water off the dock and the local wildlife are definitely some of our favorite features too. We appreciate the kind words about our hospitality and are thrilled you and your brothers had such a great time together.
