Cabin has double wood siding interior & exterior that keeps it quiet inside, good people & rules make it great, or we help enforce quiet time rules. FM 356 traffic is normally quiet at night but can have some traffic noise during day.
Also not in cabins and or not normally any nuisance to people, but guests should be aware that we are on a natural lake and there can be in wetlands area across the street or in brush snakes, spiders, snapper turtles, alligator across the bridge, hawks, eagles, raccoons, etc. No real danger but occasionally for a couple days usually in spring or early summer, mom alligator will come and drop off a baby alligator off every couple years, stats with it a couple days then leaves. Baby tends to be about 3’ to max 3.5’ when this happens, is too small to be issue, can still only eat max size bullfrogs, kind of fun to watch, but then normally leaves as well within a few weeks cuz too much activity from us. Parks & Wildlife and licensed trappers both said to leave them alone when this small, just do what we do because most the little one can do is eat bullfrog and will leave to find different home if we keep up our activities. And after 8 years we see this is correct.

We had a great stay at cabin 5. It was clean and very nice for a small house. Rick and Bernadette were very friendly and helpful. We would definitely stay again.
Rick was a great host - welcomed us and was quick to respond to any questions we had. The cabin was ideal for a weekend getaway with pretty much every thing you’d need. Nothing extravagant but comfortable and clean. Although the lake level was down (which Rick had previously told us so it wasn’t a surprise), it was still very serene and the paddle boat was great to just get out on the water. The dock was enjoyable to sit and relax in the evening - the swings were perfect. Great place that I would highly recommend.
Quaint and relaxing. John boat rental was a nice addition to our stay. Sunsets are beautiful over the river in the evenings. I would return for another trip with my husband. Kids, not so much.
We weren't able to stay long but we had a perfect fishing trip. Rick and Bernadette were wonderful and both checked in on us. Everything was exactly as expected.
We had a great and relaxing time, being just steps away from the water. Love the cabin! Nice porch to hang out and enjoy. Owners were very friendly and accommodating. The place was so clean and had everything we need (and want) for a care free vacation. Everything was well thought of. It's a plus that we were able to bring our fur baby. Definitely our new favorite place.
