Liked: Cleanliness, check-in, listing accuracy
Disliked: Communication
Beautiful property with nice layout indoors. Pets welcome with above average linens, furnishings, ammenities. Easy, comfortable stay with little to no host interaction. The location on the lake is not idyllic but the beach is hiking distance away. Plenty of restaurants within driving distance and the quiet, secluded location is worth it. Truly, an away from the rat race stay.

We are so glad you enjoyed your stay! Thank you for being great guests. It is too bad that the lake levels are on the low side right now; that makes the shoreline look ugly. But we are glad you could otherwise enjoy your visit.
Beautiful property! Path through the woods to the Lake was magical. Kitchen very nicely equipped. Basement game-room was fun! Was nice to have access to the canoe in outside storage! Lovely bedrooms and beds-very comfy. Upstairs king is an adjustable bed, so is essentially 2 twin beds. Upstairs bathroom does not have a shower (tub only), this was a little inconvenient to schedule 4 people for the 1 downstairs shower, but made it work. First night found long hairs and dog hair with a little sand on the left side fitted sheet of master bed, but just replaced it with extra twin fitted sheet that was in closet. All in all, and over-all it was absolutely lovely and we enjoyed it very much! Highly recommend it for a quite lake vacay!
The cabin was everything that we hoped for, and more. We were looking for something that would afford us the opportunity to enjoy peace, nature, privacy, and convenience for the adults, with activities (besides an iPad) the kids. My son got to hike, fish, make smores, and play air hockey. The finishes of the cabin are high end. The pictures don't do justice. It was a quiet secluded location with the convenience of Gainesville approximately 20 minutes away. Loved the property. Would definitely return.

Peaceful Retreat
Peaceful retreat. The kitchen was well stocked and had what we needed to cook a full thanksgiving dinner. The beds were really comfortable. The split king adjustable head/foot bed upstairs was well beyond what you typically find in a rental, and so comfortable. Plenty of space and the home is well laid out. We rented in November, and there was a beautiful view of the lake and stunning sunsets from the house. The property was so peaceful and we enjoyed the short walk to the lake, and the quiet of the lake. We all enjoyed fishing from the property. Easy and quick communication when we had a question. We will be back.
