The house is perfect for boating or enjoying the water. It was extremely clean and comfortable. Plenty of parking for regular vehicles, but we didn’t have room to park our trucks and trailers. In order to unload and ride we had to find and pay for offsite parking for our truck and trailer.

Amazing Weekend

My husband and two teens had a great stay at this cute cottage. We were able to dock our pontoon boat right at the property and enjoyed the lake both days. The cottage was extremely clean and well stocked. This is in a little bit of a busy neighborhood, but the lake views and back yard provided a great "lakeside" feel. We enjoyed Golf at the local course White Deer Country Club and the go-carts and mini golf were also fun. Lots of stuff to do in the area. I would highly recommend this property.

Father’s Day Weekend

We had a wonderful extended weekend celebrating the dads in our family! What a beautiful property with every thing needed for a great time at the lake! We didn’t want to leave and will definitely be booking again! The kitchen was well stocked with great cookwares which was a pleasant surprise from our usual VRBO experiences. The dock was also an added plus for us to rent a boat for few days. Recommend Macon Marine. Overall one of best vacations! Thank you!!

We had a great weekend stay at this nice little cottage. It had everything we needed for a nice stay. Location was close to many nearby stores and restaurants including Walmart to pick up groceries. The amenities were nice and the kayaks were fun to stroll around on when time permitted. The place was clean and well stocked with supplies. The owners were very responsive via text when needed. The community around us seemed very friendly and it was a great road for walking without having to worry about too much traffic. We rented a pontoon from Brians Marina and were able to easily use the dock to park it when not in use.
