Cute cabin, well maintained. It is conveniently located however, not really ON lake but about a mile or 2 away. Not super private with neighbors on 3 sides.

Gainesville house
I like the house beds are very cozy.There is limited seating so hard to relax. Adding another couch or loveseat would certainly help. The kitchen needs a set of silverware and a regular coffee maker. Most people don't use a k cup.

Did not get to stay!
We arrived late with two kids after a wedding rehearsal party. There was a safety lock on the door and I was unable to get in. After talking with the owner he wanted to call housekeeping and see if they could come out as he figured they left it this way. It was late and I needed to put my kids to bed so I asked for my money back and went to a hotel. Honestly I think someone was in the home without permission as all the lights were on and it was safety locked from the inside. I’m betting someone knew a code and figured since we were so late no one was coming. That’s just my theory. This was not the fault of the owner of course but it made me Leary of using this company in the future.

Safety concerns
We decided to leave the property and stay in a hotel. I would hope VRBO would vet properties well. We noticed peeling paint, trash in close neighbors yard and mailbox in disrepair (open) as we pulled up. Only one of three bulbs working in the only bathroom, broken fan in guest room etc. Small things made us question safety and cleanliness of property. At best, advertise this as a men's/dogs cabin.

Fishing Trip
Parking very difficult for full size bass boat, only room for one at best. Property very clean. TV system very difficult, ROKU TV sucks. No live TV option essentially. Property description and check in info needs improving. Took two days to even get TV to work at all. Kitchen needs few more basics added. Great water pressure and hot water. Shower was great. Beds very good. Would stay again assuming could get rid of first two days of hassell.

Quiet and ready for guest
A great place to stay. There's nothing negative about this place. And as strange as it may sound the beds were so comfortable they were hard to get out of. Definitely will book another stay when in the area.
Air co ditioning wasn't working when we arrived. It was almost 90 degrees at 7pm. Trash was left outside. Smelled bad. Website was down so i couldn't get a hold of anyone. Left after an hour but lost all my monet. No refund. Shady neighborhood. Felt unsafe for my family. Not the way to spend a vacation.

Decent place
Overall was a pleasant experience. I’m glad we brought our camping kitchen gear, as the kitchen was low on forks. We had to buy extra toilet paper, as we were only supplied a roll and a half (4 restroom users, 3 being female). Extra towels for bathroom and kitchen would have been good to have. Also a dish drying rack would be helpful since dishes have to be hand washed. Some guidance on the TVs would have been helpful, as they are Roku TVs and you have to download the app to use as a remote. The bathroom door is starting to fall off the hinges, so took extra care to be able to close. But, we just needed a place where we could sleep, shower, and make some meals, and this worked.

No communication
I booked this stay 3 weeks prior to the date. This was for a high school fishing tournament. Because of hurricane Ian, the tournament was rescheduled. I contacted the owner multiple times to reschedule. No reply. Next day I made the request through the app with no reply. Next day I left a voicemail with no reply. The owner had no problem replying when I had questions prior to booking but not after I booked. I was forced to dispute with my credit card to get resolution. Do not stay with this owner.

Bass Tournament Stay
The actual house was perfect for our needs. The location was close enough for all fishing locations, fuel and food needs. Parking for our boats was extremely difficult. Was also a busted water line which caused problems, but not something the owner could foresee. The problem was quickly assessed and repaired.
