The owner was very quick at answering our questions and made the entire stay enjoyable. We also loved how the place felt so away from everything and was so quiet and peaceful. Hoping to stay at this property again in the future!

This is the coziest little cabin!! Chaz was great to work with, he took care of all our needs. We will be back, for sure. You do have close neighbors from the Big House, but that wasn't a problem. we may plan to rent out both properties for a big family trip to Lake Barkly, and this will be where we stay. The kitchen was stocked , for the most part. This was a very romantic place to go.... We will be back!! Thank You Chaz, Deb.

It felt very secluded which is perfect if you are looking for quiet. I highly recommend using the kayaks on the inlet that connects to the property; it was beautiful. Ches was very helpful. The kitchen was clean and had ample dishes and utensils. The bed was comfortable. the bathroom was clean and was bigger than it looked on the pictures.

This guest house is adorable, peaceful, and was exactly the retreat I needed to relax. Tons of wildlife were in the area to watch and the bed was super comfy. I rested very well here and would love to come back. The host Ches is a lovely man who made sure I had everything i needed and kindly checked in with me throughout my 4 day stay to ensure I didnt need anything.

Little slice of heaven

Enjoyed sitting on deck drinking coffee watching momma deer with twins and squirrels. We didn’t get around to using kayaks that were available. We will definitely do it next time!

A short getaway.

The cabin cottage was lovely. Enjoyed our stay. Our host was very nice. A couple of things could improve. The back landscape from the deck could imp. The internet also shutdown at 10 pm. Still it was a wonderful stay. We didn't spend anytime durning tthe day there. Spent most of our day time in the Land Between the Lakes.
