Easter getaway
This property was amazing. When they say fully stocked they werent kidding. Coffee maker. Tons of silverware, plates, cups, wine glasses, shot glasses, measuring spoons and cups, knives, towels, etc. Property owner was very friendly. Read previous reviews of uncomfortable beds and couches and this was not the case. Couches were great even had throw blankets on them. Only thing to make the stay better would be the water levels for the lake to be up. But out of anybodys control and was mentioned to us by the owner so we left boat and jetskis home. We could have driven half a mile for lake boat ramp access but when we got there we didnt want to leave. Pictures does not show how big the cabin really is. When we arrived we were surprised how much open space was available. Also had a cool spot to have some drinks and bbq about a 5 minute walk from the property. Would definitely recommend staying here as we will visit back in the future.

Wonderful place to stay!
This is our second time to stay at this property and we enjoyed everything about it. Even with the lake levels down, we had a wonderful time and my kids are already wanting to go back!

Shortfalls of a potentially great vacation venue
The owner was not entirely up front with the lake level issue; he failed to mention that the lake was 30% down from normal pool and that "waterfront/mud front" access was 1/8th mile away on the exposed lake bottom (while on-line photos still depict lake water in the cove no more than 100 feet from the front door step). Swimming in the lake was virtually impossible. He also failed to send me pictures (worth 1000 words) reflecting this issue even though he said he would. We understand that he has no control over the lake level or the weather; however, a more forthright response would have been appreciated. The "queen-size" bedding in each of the four (4) bedrooms downstairs was deplorable; it is way beyond anything remotely comfortable and should be replaced. The bed frames had no head or foot boards, would not remain in place, and would move across the floor during the night. None of the six (6) adults in my party got a single decent night's sleep. The furniture suffers from the same malady........overstuffed couches with little stuffing left. The two (2) restrooms have no ventilation and no means to acquire it. Normal use made for sweaty conditions before one could finish drying off after a shower. I have no doubt that our experience would have been much better had we not had to deal with extremely low lake water levels and extreme heat, again not the owner's fault. However, even if the lake was back to normal and the weather was warm and balmy, the other deficiencies would still remain. Even the owner's addition of a nice laundry room was diminished by the fact that it is attached to the owner's residence, not the lodge (approximately 200 feet away). Unfortunately for us, this is one vacation destination that we won't soon forget and for all the wrong reasons. The owner's cordial nature, and the great potential that the venue still holds, was overshadowed by circumstances and conditions that the owner could/should address.

Nice get away!
Our family had a very relaxing time at the lake cabin. Everything we needed at the home was there and allowed us to enjoy our time together. Though temperatures were extreme, the porch was a perfect place for us to relax and enjoy.

Family reunion
This place is lovely, but does not accommodate 16. We booked when web site said 20 then it was changed to 16 persons by owner. Accommodates 8 persons easily but not 20 persons, not 16 persons not 12. persons The lofts are not accessible safely due to straight up 90 degree ladders. Mattresses were terrible. Wont stay here again.

Great spot for a retreat.
Location is great - better than the photos. Only downside is water level right now, but that's out of the owner's control. Would love to go back.

Perfect Getaway To Relax
Property is a great place to relax and enjoy the quiet. Very serene and lovely. We stayed during winter month so weren’t able to enjoy the water but it was perfect for what we were looking for. This place would be a blast during summer months. Owner was very welcoming and went out of his way to lay deer corn so the children can see them up close. Overall a great place for a retreat. Definitely recommend.
