Beautiful property! Everything was as expected, which was exceptional! The only thing I would add improvement to is directions to get to the property off the main road! Other than that, it was perfect!

We had a fantastic long weekend staying at the Paradise on the lake. The cabin was perfect for our little family of 4. (2 adults and 2 children aged 8 & 9). The views alone make the spot a dream. We cooked a few meals and the cabin had everything we needed. We enjoyed the games and puzzles and all the cozy blankets. The cabin was clean and tidy! I loved that it wasn't cluttered with a lot of "stuff". We had a little hiccup with the internet upon arrival, but I was able to get immediate help. The property manager was Johnny on the spot with their reply and help. I have 2ish suggestions that would of made the stay better...but it truly was an excellent stay and I would recommend this spot to my friends and family! 1. Better directions to the cabin off the main road. We drove right past the turn in as we didn't know we were looking for a turn off rather than the cabin itself. We found it quickly...but a heads up would of been good. Also a heads up or suggestion that a AWD/4WD vehicle is best would of been nice. We nearly got stuck a time or two as we came in and departed. It rained much of the time we were there so it was a little muddy for my non AWD vehicle. If we had a heads up we would of traveled in a different vehicle. 2. I would of like a binder/print out with suggestions for restaurants, nearby/popular trail heads, activities, etc. None of those things hurt our trip or the rating. I just think they would be really nice touches and be helpful.

Best Cabin on the Lake

You will love this sweet cabin with the breathtaking views and the wraparound deck! Cabin was clean and perfectly comfortable for 3 adults. We celebrated my daughter's 50th here and didn't want to leave.

Peaceful mountain cabin

The cabin is perfect for 2 to get away. The kitchen is stocked with anything you need to cook whatever meal you could think of and the gas grill is in great shape. I would highly recommend this cabin for a couple wanting to get away. The lake is a little challenging to get down to if you have bad knees but the peace and quiet is amazing.

Best vacation EVER

Great little cabin! Clean and comfortable! Driveway coming down to the cabin was a little rough and cracked up the bumper of the mini van a little, but that would be my one and only complaint. Spent 4 wonderful nights and would definitely recommend staying here!

Beautiful Location

The two decks provided a beautiful view of the lake and trees! It was also a very quiet and peaceful location. Darling cabin, comfy beds. Great kitchen with all the amenities. Dependable wifi. The only discomfort was the old living room furniture.

Texans love the view!

Loved this little cabin and its spectacular back porch views! WiFi and family board games came in handy on the rainy days by the lake. Grill was in great shape and the propane tank was full. Thank you again for sharing your cabin with us!

Beautiful Serene Cabin Overlooking Lake

My husband and I stayed for 3 wonderful nights at this little cabin. It was clean and immaculate. Every morning we loved sitting outside looking at the view of the lake. The cabin had everything we needed. Slept amazing! Great choice for us! Thank you.
