Love the location of this, the driveway is hard to get up especially if you don’t have a truck or SUV. Kitchen and bathroom very clean. Bedrooms were ok, definitely need new beds in both of them. I maybe got 3 hours of sleep because the beds were so warn.

Hi, Drista. Sorry you were not 100% satisfied. I know it's important to sleep well but many people don't find cabin beds as comfortable as the ones they have at home. In our defense, the mattresses are nor warn (worn?), they are relatively new. They are just basic, medium-firm and not the overstuffed or pillow-top style. Our lane is not paved but stone and most people get along fine with it unless they have very low-clearance vehicles.
Nice little cabin, close to marina and Raystown, hiking. Quiet and just what we needed. Had everything basic you needed, which was very helpful! Thank you!

Thanks for staying with us. We feel really badly when the weather isn't nice but, unfortunately, have no control over it! We're thankful that our guests understand and glad you made the best of it!
Loved the area, and the cabin was in good shape. The only thing we wished was for a light in the bathroom over the mirror.

Robert, thanks for staying with us and for submitting a review. Our cabins are somewhat limited in space, especially in the bathrooms. We are sorry about the lack of lighting at the mirror. The ceiling fixture is centrally located so it's not the best for shaving or applying makeup. Other than this, we hope you enjoyed your stay!

The cabin was cozy and the privacy was great, look forward to visiting again.
We want to rent more than one cabin in the future for the whole family, it was so peaceful and quiet. We enjoyed not hearing anything but the birds singing. The lake is a short drive from the cabin so it seemed liked two vacations in one. Defiantly will be back

Crystal, we're so happy you enjoyed your stay! Many guests are discovering a wonderful experience during spring and fall. Summer is definitely our busiest time but we love our changes of seasons. As you have found, visiting in the spring definitely has its benefits. Thanks for posting your review!
We had a very nice time exploring the area. The cabin was comfy for the most part. We did have a lot of stink bugs inside though and the queen bed was not good for my back. We really enjoyed sitting at the picnic table with our cup of coffee and listening to the
birds. I liked that the other cabins were not too close.

Hi, Angel, we are sorry about the stink bugs. They are troublesome in our area as the weather starts to warm up. We do spray around the windows and do a last-minute check before guests arrive. But I know we don't get them all. We have tried different mattresses from firm to pillow-tops. It just seems like we can't please everyone but we're sorry it was uncomfortable for you.
The cabin is little but very comfortable. The driveway is definitely a mountain driveway. Very steep. The property of the cabin is very steep as well. Walking to the firepit is very steep too.

Marne, we hope navigating the hill was not too difficult for you. In our photos we try to give you a good idea of the layout. A few years ago, we added a driveway to the back door which allows guests to come and go with just one step up. The front and back porches are level with the cabin, however, using the fie pit involves walking down from the front porch via wooden steps or from the back porch via a path with iron railing.

Sooo much fun!
Linda was very easy to get a hold of and accommodating to us by allowing us to check in early and check out late. We loved our stay, the cabin is cozy and big enough for 2 people and our 2 big dogs. Beautiful porches, fire pit and grill! Located in the woods and private enough away from the surrounding cabins. We can't wait to return.

About the host
Hosted by Linda White
With an eye to invest in rental property during the late 1990's, a broker led us to our lovely cabin property. We fell instantly in love with the property and made an offer to purchase right away. Although we were delayed in closing by paperwork on the seller's side, we began renting them even before we officially owned them! Thus began our real estate investing and my choice to become a licensed real estate agent. If you are leaning in that direction, I would gladly share my experience with you.
Why they chose this property
We have made many improvements since 1998, keeping the rustic charm but making the cabin more comfortable for our guests. The cabin is semi-private with natural vegetation surrounding it. A relaxing area awaits with a picnic table, campfire ring and cast-iron charcoal grill. While we are not set up to host large numbers of people for meals, etc. there are many picnic areas and pavilions nearby which can be secured for just such an event. These areas may be reserved by calling the US Army Corps of Engineers office.
What makes this property unique
Awaken to birds singing in the morning. If you rise early enough, you may see the deer trek down off the hill toward the creek (a deer run goes right across our property...make sure your eyes are open...one guest was walking her dog and startled a deer right behind her cabin!) Rock and roll to your hearts delight on the lake or the trails, then return to your cabin and grill your favorite meal. Relax by the campfire, enjoy your beverage and just chill.
