There are kayaks for your use or bring your own kayaks canoes or boats & tie them up to one of the two docks. Fishing is great and you could fish off the dock, porch or front lawn if you wanted to!

Just a heads up to our guests that the lake gets lowered around October 15th so fishing, kayaking and swimming will not be available. Don't worry the views are still beautiful and you can still see the water. Thank you again, John

A wonderful pet- friendly rental! We drove from NC to stay on the lake and were very happy with this cute little cottage. Comfortable inside with great views outside. Overall a great space for entertaining family and friends or just chilling out for a bit. And our lab enjoyed herself too!

What a amazing cute lake front house. I will be staying again!!

Beautiful house right in the lake. Quiet — peaceful — so relaxing watching the sunset at night, or enjoying a nice cup of coffee on the deck in the morning while watching all the activity of the lake.

I stayed at John’s cabin with my husband and our 1-year old son toward the end of August. This was our second time staying at his cabin as our close friends own the cabin next door. It’s always so perfect and I never want to leave. The lake is right outside the back door and the deck gets amazing sunlight. The sunsets are priceless. If I have my way, it will be an annual tradition for our family for years to come!
