Scenic lakefront cottage had it all!

What a lovely place! We were in the area to relax, fish, and take in a NASCAR race and this beautifully decorated, modern cottage was perfect. Everything you might need for a relaxing stay is provided. The location is rather remote, so plan ahead. It is well worth the drive and the directions are clear and accurate. We'll be back!!

Seeing old friends

Was the cutest cottage!!! I had everything I needed.... Brought food in with me and cooked there. The host was very welling to help with info and accommodated my needs. This trip was about reconnecting with old friends and spending some quality time with one who's health is failing.... Enjoyed the sound's of all the wildlife around the lake! Would of loved to see more water from deck up top, maybe just some of the lower limbs trimmed back or up! Spent every morning and evening down at the dock, either watching wildlife or the sun setting! I needed this little down time myself......
