We had the very best time. I had mentioned to the host that it was my birthday and they hung a birthday banner for me in the living room. That was so incredibly nice. The porch area was so relaxing and nice. The master shower was also heavenly. Warning: there are a ton of steps down to the water but even if you’re semi out of shape, they’re still doable the dock area was great! I caught a fish and so did my son. Sadly, my husband did not we had a great, relaxing weekend away and I hope to return again one day!

The place was not clean. Inside was very dusty & bathrooms were not cleaned well. Outside porch furniture was filthy with cobwebs all over. Had to clean it off to sit outside.

Great Property / Accomodating Host

My wife & I stayed here and it was a great experience. Very clean property with its own boat dock!!! The host was gracious enough to let us dock our boat before check-in time so we could enjoy the lake early. A+++ Host & Property.

Thanksgiving Vacation

Cabin was nice and fully stocked with everything we needed during our stay. The view of the lake from the cabin is awesome. The gravel trail to the lake makes getting to the boat dock super simple. It was very convenient being able to use the boat dock.

Post Semester Vacation

My college buddies and I got to stay for 3 nights and we could not be more pleased. While this cabin is so affordable, it also offers everything you need when renting a house, especially on the lake. Leading up to the stay, Tom was really quick to respond to answer any questions we had (a lot). The Swayback Bridge boat ramp is only a 5 or so minute drive and a 30 second boat drive, which was very ideal. We will hopefully be coming back soon.
