Awesome Fishing

Front porch was really nice. We ate supper out there one night but was too cold the other nights. Plenty of parking space. My two boys, grandson, and my brother caught lots of fish and limited out 2 of the days.

Cozy lakefront getaway

My husband and I met our son here for a relaxing weekend. We enjoyed meals and games and sunrises from the screened in porch and kayaks on the lake. The grill was perfect for cooking up some fresh corn from a local farm stand. We would recommend the place to others and hope to stay again in the future.

Great location!

We wanted to get away for a few days and this location was great! It was just steps from the water, the house was well stocked and clean, and the owners graciously accommodated a last minute request when my in-laws needed a place to sleep for one night. If we had a boat, this location is the perfect place to spend some time on the water!

Plenty of towels, paper towels, toilet paper, cleaning supplies. Stayed 5 days, did not have to buy any of those things. Ample dishes, bedding, cooking utensils. Up to date appliances. Plenty of beds. Large TV. Enclosed porch. If the weather had been better it would have been a perfect vacation. Property is close to several good restaurants, a grocery store & gas is within amile or two

Great stay with lake view

We found the place and the entry instructions easily. Stayed during a family event and was much better than staying in a hotel. The lake was across the narrow road and it was pretty quiet during our stay (March). The house had everything we needed and the cookware in the kitchen was better than expected. Had some board/card games to play. Didn't need to contact the owner but the instructions to get there and check out were clear.

We really enjoyed our weekend situated right on the lake with a boat slip just steps away. The cabin was furnished nicely with quality appliances dishes towels bedding etc. Our favorite part was the glassed in screened porch for meal’s & relaxing watching the lake activity. We hope to return.
