Great little "cabin". Easy access to the private swim cove. Beautiful backyard and georgous view of the lake. Very clean and spacious. Internet was spotty, but understandably so since it was stormy. The drive into the neighborhood is kinda sketchy (very rough bumpy roads even in my big truck and trailers/abandoned looking cabins all over). BUT, the cul-de-sac that the property is actually on has much safer vibe. Once you're inside it's very peaceful and beautiful. I'd stay there again. Just wasn't expecting the "rough" drive in.
This place is a diamond in the rough! Well built home with everything you need, especially the kitchen. The neighborhood has a strange layout with a lot of potholes, so closely monitor the GPS to guide you.
The cottage was clean and inviting. The fishing decor was fun. Cooking was easy because the kitchen was well stocked with pots and pans. The back porch and yard with view of the lake was lovely, just as I hoped it would be.
We have stayed at this lake property several times & always can’t wait to come back! It’s clean, cozy & has a beautiful view of the lake. Such a quiet, relaxing visit every time.

Thank you for your 5 star review! Always glad to host you wonderful ladies! You are the best guests!
The home was very clean and spacious. The pictures don’t do it justice with how roomy it really is inside. The furnishings were very comfortable, both inside and outside. We enjoyed sitting in the Adirondack chairs by the fire pit with a view of the lake, and from the tree swing, The porch furniture was comfy, as well. Joe was very friendly when we met him in person. We highly recommend this lovely lake cottage if you are looking for a relaxing place to stay.
Property was just what we were looking for. A nice space for just the 2 of us to rest and relax. Great outdoor seating areas with nice views.The small house was clean and nicely decorated.We really enjoyed our stay.
This is a beautiful, peaceful, quiet little cottage that has a wonderful view of the lake. The backyard is lovely with plenty of places to sit and enjoy the views. Cottage is clean, spacious enough for a few people.
This little cabin was clean. It had everything we needed. The only problem was finding our way in and out. The is a restaurant call Serenity Cafe. The catfish is wonderful. The pieces are large the frys are hand cut. So go check out this sweet hinden gem.
nice place with access to the lake within walking distance, and boating ramps close by. nice area to sit and watch the sunset. had an enjoyable 2 night stay.
