The lake is very nice and we had access to a beach and a dock. The only thing that we felt was missing was a grill. There was a fire pit outside with a grate held up with bricks, which was what we were told we could use as a bbq grill, but I think we were expecting an actual grill. Still, overall everything was great. ##### Jessica B.

We ended having a great time and the cabin was small but exactly what we needed since we spent our time on the lake. I recommend to ask details about the where the boat dock is located so you have the info ahead of time. Definitely recommend for a quick quiet getaway, beautiful view of the lake. ##### Cristina C.

Jul 7, 2020 Liked: Cleanliness, location, listing accuracy Disliked: Check-in, communication #### weekend stay property is gorgeous and cabin is beautiful inside. FYI, the two extra beds are in a loft space that requires using a ladder...deck is beautiful right next to the lake. only disappointment was in the beginning because it was tough to get a hold of the owner when we arrived and had to wait over hour to get keys...I'm grateful the weather was nice and we could sit on the deck but waiting for keys for a service that we already paid for was a debbie downer...communication needs to be better with the owner as she does not have a cell phone (land line only) so texting does not go through. Once she arrived with the keys, all was smooth sailing! ##### Monika J. Stayed 2 nights in Jul 2020 ### 10/10 Excellent #### JJ W. Oct 21, 2021 Liked: Cleanliness, check-in, communication, location, listing accuracy #### Perfect Getaway Cabin near the lake We had a fabulous time at the cabin and our girls, ages 5 and 10 loved the loft! They felt like they were on a great adventure! We were able to access the lake through a gated private area and spent a lot of time fishing from the shore and dock. The cabin was spotless when we arrived and there was even Charcoal for us to grill out. The only recommendation I would make is for a few more cooking utensils, etc. as we are big cooks, but we had enough of what we needed and made do with no problems. I loved that it was so peaceful and we were made to feel welcome. The girls asked when we could go back! ##### JJ W. Stayed 3 nights in Oct 2021 ### 6/10 Okay #### Alexis K. Jul 14, 2025 Liked: Check-in, location Disliked: Cleanliness, listing accuracy #### Great location but needs a deep clean Pros: location is great with a private beach area for members. There is a dock down the hill for a boat. Cons: The house could use some work. Mold in the shower and the fridge didn’t work. Had to buy a cooler to use. Owner came and said to adjust knobs but it didn’t do anything. This was a hassle since we had a baby whose milk we needed to keep cold. Could use a deep clean since mouse poop in cabinets and dust bunnies everywhere. Toothpaste all over mirror and hair on the sink. Took owner a couple weeks to get back to me when I initially messaged her after booking, so communication not great. Only 4 pillows but 3 beds and you have to crawl to get to the 2 upstairs. I think with more pictures showing a more accurate set up and a deep clean, it could be a nice place to stay. ![](https://a.travel-assets.com/ugc/hotel-reviews/01bbc17d-35c5-454b-8da3-a7cb0467859c-1752458789848.jpg?impolicy=resizecrop&rw=204&ra=fit&q=high) ##### Alexis K.

We enjoyed time on the deck, grilling over the coals in the fire pit, and waking up to birds chirping. A few additions (less than $100) could make for a better experience vs. the rent charged: a couple larger pans/pots - it was a bit of a challenge to make meals for 3 adults, so I can't imagine how a group of 6 would do breakfast. A cutting board and a full sized knife (although the 2 inch ones were quite sharp!), a set of tumblers/glasses - no need for anything fancy, but would be nice to not drink wine out of coffee mugs :) ##### Yara Z. Stayed 5 nights in Oct 2020 ### 6/10 Okay #### Verified traveller Jul 10, 2020 Liked: Cleanliness, check-in, communication, location Disliked: Listing accuracy #### Beautiful Location The stairs to the 2 beds in the loft are very, very steep. At the top of the stairs in the loft, the roof is also very steep. On the right side of the ladder at the top was a height of about 6 inches. On the left side of the ladder at the top was a height of about 30 inches. This meant that at the top of the ladder you had to crawl a few feet on your hands and knees. Even in the center of the loft, my husband could not stand up straight. I would have appreciated knowing this via the listing before booking. The location was great and the view very nice from the deck. Parents will want to be watchful of their children in the loft and on the stairs. The house was very clean when we arrived. ##### Verified traveller ### 6/10 Okay #### JoAnna R. Jul 8, 2021 Liked: Cleanliness, location Disliked: Check-in, listing accuracy #### Progress needed I appreciated the communication with the owner but had wished it was more timely. I appreciated that she gave us her phone number which helped. There were some amenities that we usually experience in other locations that were not present at this property, for example: No soap for the shower, inadequate materials to use the grill, furniture not in ideal shape (kitchen table chairs were wobbly and coming apart), no cookie sheets for baking, pillows in bedroom were not bed pillows but couch pillows with a pillow case, and inadequate knives for slicing. I usually am not critical of locations but this site appeared to have a few more items needed to use that could not be found. ##### JoAnna R.

Has everything you need for a relaxing weekend on the water or the perfect home base for nature excursions. ##### Brad Stayed 2 nights in Apr 2022 ### 10/10 Excellent #### Glen Z. Apr 28, 2022 Liked: Cleanliness, check-in, communication, location, listing accuracy #### Cabin in April The cabin was well equipped, but a WiFi would have been appreciated. If I had thought of it earlier, I would have reserved a "hot spot" from my local library for the trip. The owner had lots of cute decorations and supplies that made us feel more at home. The cabin was very close to a boat ramp which we used each day. Although the driveway was a little tight, there was plenty of space for our boat once we learned how to navigate the space. Denise (owner) was very helpful with restaurant suggestions. It was close enough to some major towns (about 20 minutes to Marion) for groceries since the local store and eating places (about 5 miles) close early. A local gas station had ethanol free as for boats, for which we were thankful. Although the fish were not biting, we have a great time. Thanks Densie. ##### Glen Z.
