House was peaceful, nestled in the woods, had a small stream beside it which made a very calming waterfall sound. There was a lot of dishes which was perfect. Very much enjoyed our stay.

We were 3 women in our 70"s. We were very satisfied with the house. The way down to the dock and water was a little steep and hard for us to walk but we found some tree limbs on the ground that we used for walking sticks. We would stay again. Everything was convenient and had everything we needed to walk but we found some tree l8mbs on the ground tat we used for walking sticks.

Short getaway

This property was well maintained and very clean. Very quiet and peaceful. The owner contacted us to make sure we had everything we needed and left information for us to get in contact. Should we need anything. Will definitely be staying here again!

Enjoyed our stay! Privacy was good. Clean . Kitchen was adequate, as we cook almost all of our meals at the place we are staying. Pet friendly as stated. She did fine. Caught a few fish off the dock. The only suggestion we have is possibly an info booklet for the Tv's and what is included or not on the subscriptions. Had to call to get a passcode for the tv to override the parental controls. No biggie though, we enjoyed the place!

Cozy and relaxing hidden gem!

Property was clean, cozy, and well-appointed with everything you need for a weekend or even longer! BBQ grill, fire pit, enclosed porch with ceiling fans, covered boat dock… all on a peaceful and private creek leading to the lake. We caught 5 panfish right off the dock (remember to get a local fishing license). Lots of wildlife! Saw a small gator, egrets, and turtles galore. We couldn’t have been happier with our stay and plan to be regulars to this property any time we need a weekend getaway!

The host was very responsive and accommodating. Checking in and out was very easy. Kitchen was stocked with proper cooking pans, plates, utensils and cups. Bedrooms were nice and beds were comfortable. Bathroom was stocked with plenty of towels. Property was quiet and screen porch was nice to sit in without having any issues with inspects. The only negative I would say about the property was driveway was narrow and difficult to get a truck with a boat trailer near the property. Driveway is steep going down to the property however, there was enough room in the top side of the driveway to park without detaching the truck and trailer. Overall we enjoyed our stay at the property. Would stay again if we were back in the area. Thanks Troy!
