The cabin itself is beautiful and the location on the lake is excellent, with kayaks and swimming supplies provided; however, the condition of the property was extremely disappointing, especially given that we paid nearly 1,000 for a three-night stay. Upon arrival we initially could not access the cabin, though the owner did respond promptly. The exterior was neglected with overgrown weeds and trees, moldy and unusable patio furniture, and a grill containing maggots. Inside, there was a strong musty odor, heavy dust, spider webs, greasy and blackened surfaces, and windows so dirty it was difficult to see outside. The bedding smelled musty and dirty, there were not enough clean sheets, several beds were missing blankets and pillows, and only old, yellowed pillows were available. Kitchen surfaces, including the dining table, stove, and oven, were coated in old grease and food residue and had to be cleaned before we could cook for our children. After contacting the host, cleaners were sent to at least clean the floors and remove the maggots, which we appreciated. While we did enjoy the lake and a campfire, the lack of cleanliness and basic maintenance made arriving late at night truly devastating and the overall condition unacceptable for the price.

We had a fantastic stay! The lake access was incredible and the house was fun to hang out in too. We did find a large spider but we otherwise had a really great vacation here!

We enjoyed our stay! We all had plenty of room to spread out and had everything we needed for the week. The paddleboard was a big hit with the kids! Coffee on the porch overlooking the lake was fantastic!

We made a mistake in timing and ended up getting to the property late-- it's a little hard to find in the dark, and we apparently aren't good with electronic locks. But the host answered our phone call immediately, was super easy to communicate with, and once we figured that all out, we loved the cabin. It is in a wooded area and on the shore of the lake, so you need to be prepared it won't be spotless (that is impossible), but it was beautiful, well- stocked, and the beds were clean and comfortable. My kids enjoyed having so many beds to choose from (with 5, it's rare they can ask have their own space like they could here) and loved the kayaks and swimming in the lake. I wish I could bring the shower home with me (the kids loved it too)! We made great use of the grill and overall had a great time. If you want the feeling of seclusion while still being near people just in case, and if you want a nice house on the water to get away for awhile, I recommend considering this property.

The property is beautiful! We had a wonderful stay. Owner was great at responding to any and all questions. Unfortunately the AC had gone out the day we got there but he had someone out there the same day! Impressive especially since it was a holiday. We would definitely come back!
