Always love staying at the cabins, this was the first time in the bigger cabin but it was perfect for the 3 small grandkids while on spring/Easter break from school, can't wait to come back to the smaller cabin in just under 2 weeks for my anniversary.

We enjoyed our time away! We booked the cabin so we could be close to the Allegrippis trails and we were only about 10 minutes away. Linda was extremely responsive and accommodating and the cabin was as-advertised. Thanks for a great stay!

Alicia, we are grateful that you chose us for your stay. Glad you enjoyed it and please come visit again!
Myself, my husband, my sister, brother in law, niece and dogs all stayed at cabin 4. This was the perfect getaway, secluded in the woods but only a 10 minute drive to the lake. We swam, we grilled, we had fire pits and watched scary movies. If you're looking for a peaceful relaxing vacation, this is the place!

Everything was awesome. The cabin was perfect for our evenings off the water. The porch was large enough to have our coffee bar, eating and playing cards/games.
The cabin is only minutes from Seven Points Marina.
We would stay there again.

We're so very sorry that another guest did not control their dog. Our hope is for everyone to have a great experience. I'm not sure why kerosene would have been needed... perhaps it was charcoal lighter fluid.
About the host
Hosted by Linda White
With an eye to invest in rental property during the late 1990's, a broker led us to our lovely cabin property. We fell instantly in love with the property and made an offer to purchase right away. Although we were delayed in closing by paperwork on the seller's side, we began renting even before we officially owned! Thus began our real estate investing and my choice to become a licensed real estate agent. If you are leaning in that direction, I would gladly share my experience with you.
Why they chose this property
We have made many improvements since 1998, keeping the rustic charm but making the cabin more comfortable for our guests. The cabin is semi-private with natural vegetation surrounding it. A relaxing area awaits with a picnic table, campfire ring and cast-iron charcoal grill. While we are not set up to host large numbers of people for meals, etc. there are many picnic areas and pavilions nearby which can be secured for just such an event. These areas may be reserved by calling the US Army Corps of Engineers office.
What makes this property unique
Awaken to birds singing in the morning. If you rise early enough, you may see the deer trek down off the hill toward the creek (a deer run goes right across our property). Make sure your eyes are open... a guest was walking her dog and startled a deer right behind her cabin! Rock and roll to your hearts delight on the lake or the trails, then return to your cabin and grill your favorite meal. Relax by the campfire, enjoy your beverage and just chill.
