The location and the home were excellent. Our weather didn’t cooperate but the stay was still fun with the pool table and recreation area in the home. Perfect getaway for the 8 of us. Owners were so responsive to any of our questions. Beds comfortable and yard perfect for our dog. Pontoon rental was worth the extra expense.

Hot, Humid, Storms but Fun!

The place was very clean and accommodated everyone nicely. Plenty of things to do around the place. Kayaks, peddle boat and games. The pool table, bar area and darts were fun. It was nice to relax and just enjoy family and scenery. Dawn was very responsive and the entire process went smoothly. Thanks for opening up your place and property!

This place is even better than the pictures! The bar with jukebox and pool table was a great place to relax after catching plenty of fish not too far from the cabin. The interior is super comfortable and newly renovated. I’m already looking forward to going back!

Amazing stay!!

What an incredible property! The space and layout was perfect for our group that ranged from 1 to 75 years old. The kids had plenty of space to run around and play while there were areas where the adults could find some peace and quiet. Dawn was an extremely gracious host and communication with her was excellent. We hope to return again in the future!!
