So glad you enjoyed your stay! Hopefully you can come back for your Mom's 80th!
Cabin was quaint and nice, but the best part was the property. The water was absolutely beautiful, and the fire pit was great for a cool evening outdoors.
Beautiful home and property. The lake was perfect for fishing. Our property manager was very friendly. Perfect place if you’re trying to get away and just enjoy the outdoors.

What makes this property unique
The sunsets on the pond are the most beautiful. Be sure to watch for the deer as they do come out of the woods and are sometimes on the side of the road. The wild turkeys and birds are amazing too! Mr. Owl comes out at dusk and sits in his favorite tree out front,,, If you like nature, you will love it here!
