Great cabin near PK lake

We stayed here for three days while working in the area. The cabin was in perfect condition, and had everything we needed. We will definitely plan to stay again on our next trip to the area!

Rocker B Baseball Stay

The unit was comfortable, well renovated and relaxing. The house that we reserved was having AC issues so the property manager quickly moved us to an alternate unit that was very cool. Thanks Jordan!! We enjoyed the community pool after a long day of baseball at Rocker B which was only a 15-minute drive. We’ll definitely be back!

Retreat 18 Waves of joy

We drove into town and checkin was easy and the door lock was easy to access. The place was nice but the picture you see on the advertising is from the back yard. All bedrooms were upstairs along with the main restroom/shower. it was a nice clean place . But they need to work on the AC .It seem like central ac but it could not keep up and their portable ac"s could not run at he same time per rental person when I reached out to her about the ac problem and her response was "run them one at a time...really"? It was more than 95 degrees each day and walking into the house afternoon on the lake is a lot to take in and the and its not like it was nice outside but it was not. The place has only 1 tv and we could not get it to work either .Yes we did not go to watch tv but to get some local stations on the weather we could not do.Also make sure if you take your boat it is a task for sure. So probably wouldn't stay there again.
