We really enjoyed the cabin and overall it was great experience. Here are the pros and cons:Pros: plenty of room for our party of 5 Full suite in both up and down stairs Great views of the lake Direct access to lake Quiet and relaxing 2 floating decks A lot of boats to rent Fire pit Grills Fully loaded back yard with life jackets, outdoor toys, hammocks, firewood, fishing poles, towels All linens were clean and provided All paper goods provided House was cleaned before arrival Easy check in and out Fun, funky decor Good WiFi Lots of indoor games Very responsive host Dog friendly, made our dog feel welcome Cons: Boats are not provided with the booking, they must be rented House was clean but not deep clean( we found items and food from other guest under furniture Outdoor areas are very cluttered There are a lot of tripping hazards inside and outside Upstairs porch railing is very wide and a small child or dog could easily fall Neighbors dogs barked at us a lot Upstairs bathtub cracked and needs replacing. Upstairs bathroom plumbing is placed above downstairs bed. My teens loved this place and already want to return. ##### Ashley N. Stayed 3 nights in Mar 2025 ### 10/10 Excellent #### Marci L. Jan 8, 2023 Liked: Cleanliness, check-in, communication, location, listing accuracy #### Relaxing and refreshing My family of four and my mother enjoyed our time here the week between Christmas and New year’s. The setting is peaceful and beautiful. So many fun little seating areas to enjoy time. But we found the weather to be great and spent most of our time on the dock visiting, reading, playing with the neighbor’s puppies, relaxing. We kayaked and enjoyed the paddle boat. I bet summer would be great here! The hammocks were nice. The home had all we need. Carol was so responsive and helpful and supportive. It made for a nice stay. We played Foosball, Pac-Man and galactica, games, cards, watched some movies or games. There are also darts inside (magnetic) and outside. So many extras here! We had all of our meals in. We did enjoy some time antiquing in Livingston and the nearby Dollar General the opposite way came in handy. The beds were comfy. Heat kept up with the cold nights. Had all the towels and bedding and pillows we needed. Kitchens well-appointed. The house is on a hillside and there are stairs in the house as well as down to the lake. Keep that in mind before booking if that would be a problem for you or your guests. Great private lake. A great getaway! Thanks, Carol! ##### Marci L.

It was my husband and I, our 4 kids plus 2 friends for the kids. This lake house had it all. It didn't matter if it was raining outside the house had everything we could have ever wanted. The lake was so peaceful I was able to not worry about the older kids taking kayaks out. It's a dream vacation if you want to just get away from the city. I loved every second, I can't wait to come back. ![](https://a.travel-assets.com/ugc/hotel-reviews/9e72c6f1-50e3-4e88-b0c5-2dca5e4f335a-1753059135132.jpg?impolicy=resizecrop&rw=204&ra=fit&q=high) ![](https://a.travel-assets.com/ugc/hotel-reviews/5f225571-05c1-48fe-944c-7671f09451f5-1753059135458.jpg?impolicy=resizecrop&rw=204&ra=fit&q=high) ![](https://a.travel-assets.com/ugc/hotel-reviews/3abfcf16-97b0-48c8-8740-b741193c5488-1753059135380.jpg?impolicy=resizecrop&rw=204&ra=fit&q=high) ##### e o.

Mar 12, 2025 Liked: Cleanliness, check-in, communication, listing accuracy Disliked: Location #### Worked for us but we are not very picky. It is not in the best neighborhood and parking is not ideal. The kitchen was good and well equipped. There was no TV service so bring a Ruko if you want to watch anything other than CD's they have. The kids liked the foosball and the firepit was good. The plumbing pipes are exposed downstairs so whenever anyone flushed the comode upstairs it comes through pipes in the room downstairs and is loud. The downstairs bathroom and bed are actually in the large downstairs room and are separated by curton. You pay extra to use the canoe's and stand up board. The washer and dryer are in a building in the back of the house and are not available for you use. We had a person who got wet and I called and they did give me the code to get into the laundry room.For a rustic get away retreat it works. ##### Rob B.

We were within 10 to 30 minutes of all the boat launches where we meet our guides, and came back to a well equipped kitchen and charcoal grill to prepare a nice fresh fish dinner. We’d sit on the dock dunking worms to end each evening. We will be back! ##### Mark S. Stayed 3 nights in Sep 2024 ### 10/10 Excellent #### Robert P.

This was one of the best places we’ve vacationed at and I would go back in a second. The house is wonderful and right up against the lake. It’s well covered by trees and has everything you need to enjoy a quick getaway. The hosts were wonderful and very responsive. This is a great place and I look forward to going back. ##### Robert P.

Not to mention the host was very helpful and communicative from the time we booked until the min we left. We loved the upstairs downstairs set up. Plenty of pillows and blankets for extra comfort. This host left no stone unturned. Best rental we have ever had. ##### Jennifer D. Stayed 3 nights in Apr 2024 ### 10/10 Excellent #### Melissa M.

The owners are wonderful, extremely thoughtful and go the extra mile for their guests to feel comfortable and welcome. Our family enjoyed HOURS on the lake in all the boats available. The lake is very small, quiet and peaceful. My husband and kids also spent so much time fishing and were very successful. I loved spending time reading in the lounge chairs on the dock. There is so much to do in the house and opportunities to have fun together. The beds in the house are super comfortable, I wish I could have brought the downstairs bed home with me! ##### Melissa M.

They were super quick to respond to questions and gave helpful and fun tips. We rented the boats/kayaks and had so much fun!!! The area outside is perfect for everyone, they have so many different areas to hang out❤️. The beds were so comfy, I was super worried because I forgot my pillow at home, but there’s were great. We are looking forward to our next visit💕 ##### Teresa W. Stayed 2 nights in Dec 2023 ### 10/10 Excellent #### Tammy B.

Description of home and property is exactly as it was stated. Our family throughly enjoyed our stay. We were able to make memories fishing, swimming and had lots of laughs. We all got to learn how to paddle board. My daughter and I also learned how to use the kayaks. My son and husband were already pros. We also used the paddle boat, very fun. We saw wildlife creatures up close. My husband named the Opossum George. We did see a water moccasin crossing the steps by the bbq pit. We made friends with the neighborhood dog, she was sweet and very friendly. Our two little dogs liked her too. If you want a relaxing time away from life, unwind here. Thank you again Richard and Carol for making your lake house feel like home. Beds were so comfortable to sleep in too!!! ##### Kim B.

There were activities for everyone to do of all ages! The only thing was that there was bugs in the restrooms but again may come with the area and wasn’t horrible overall would recommend and will definitely be back! ##### Alexa E.

A lot of small touches that gave us plenty to do during a rainy day, and access to kayaks and a paddleboat for the rest of the time. It's a great lake with beautiful scenery, a great house with lots to do, and a definite "let's go again" from everyone. ##### Mike G.
