Great place!

We really enjoyed our stay. Very comfortable! The fish cleaning station was really a plus! The porch was so nice to relax on after a day on the lake. Jessica checked in with us to see if we needed anything. Everything was perfect! Very clean and comfortable. We will definitely be back.

Liked: Check-in, communication, location
Disliked: Cleanliness
The location was ok, quiet and the host was responsive before check-in, but several details were disappointing. There was no hair dryer, and basic toiletries like shampoo and soap were not provided. The cooking oil had gone bad, and some of the pots were dirty upon arrival. Several light bulbs were burned out, and the bathtub was very slippery( a rubber mat would have helped with safety). There were also two nail heads sticking out of the stairs. My mom stepped on one and almost got hurt, which was very concerning. Overall cleanliness and maintenance didn’t meet expectations. With better attention to these basics and safety issues, the stay could be much improved.

Try this cabin

Me and my dad stayed here for a quick fishing trip. They had everything we expected and more no need to bring a bunch of things from home. It’s already there great Wi-Fi service and the easiest access to a ramp I have experienced. And the owners are top notch people down to earth and are willing to do anything to make your stay a great experience. No need to have to do a bunch of reviews and worry about a place being right this one is the right choice. Thanks again we will be back.
