This cabin was absolutely perfect for our stay. I would highly recommend! Also if you would like to fish in the pond. There are bluegill, bass, and catfish. The bass will bite on artificial lures but all species prefer live bait.

The cabin was amazing. Location was incredible. The only issue we had was a/c the upstairs a/c was not working at all no air temperature got up to 80 during stay. We had to open doors and windows to get air circulation. Back patio was dirty like if it never been used. The remotes I had to go out and purchase batteries. Other than that we loved the cabin if you could please fix this issues we would love to stay again and even consider going more often.

Great house for multiple families

The house was visually appealing and conveniently located near restaurants and a state park. The house is spacious and bathrooms were beautiful.We stayed a few days if spring break, so I am betting the cleaning staff was slammed however, it left a little to be desired. The quality of the sheets and bedding was subpar, we walked out to view the small pond and found full ashtrays on the patio, the throw pillows had an unpleasant odor, pool table was missing chalk (mgmt said billiards chalk was back ordered) the throw pillows had an unpleasant odor, the hot tub was spotless, it did take into the late evening to feel warm, K-cups were provided but the Keurig came with mold, which was disappointing.This house is perfect for multi families, lots of kids near by and on the pond. Lots of towels and 2 washers and dryers.

Family thanksgiving getaway

The family had a wonderful relaxing weekend. The cabin was beautiful nestled I the pines, by the pond. We enjoyed exploring the area and local attractions. It was the perfect place for our family to be together and share how thankful we are for all the beautiful things God has created and the blessed family he has given us!

Lovely Home with lots of space. Our family Christmas was enjoyed by all with our own private suites that included good size bathrooms and large walk-in showers. With 3 fireplaces it made a very cold weekend nice and cozy.
