This is a wonderful property and we really enjoyed our time away. The peace and quiet was heavenly, and the cottage is just delightful. You can spend a few hours just taking in all the decorations! John is a great host, was available to answer all our questions and provided a ton of information that made our stay easy and just what a tired city couple needed. Next time we'll stay longer!
The fishing cabin is adorable with a very comfy bed. The area is quiet and minutes from a beautiful lake. The owner was helpful and the place is very clean. We truly enjoyed our camp fire and had a great time!
The cabin is warm and inviting. All the supplies you need are provided…kitchen and dining ware, firewood, plenty of blankets. The area is very peaceful. All we heard was the sound of leaves rustling, birds chirping and the fireplace crackling. It’s a short walk to take in the beauty of the lake and surrounding trees.
My husband and I enjoyed a weekend away at this lovely cabin! Everything we needed was provided. We enjoyed kayaking, fishing, antique shopping and relaxing in nature with a campfire. Very peaceful!
Very quaint just like you would picture a getaway cabin. Owner very kind in letting us know about all the little things. The whole area is absolutely beautiful.
The cottage almost makes you feel like youre in a tree house. The decor is heart warming and meaningful. John was always available. The bonus of having lake access and kayaks made an even more incredible experience. We want to come back ASAP with our son :)
We’ve been wanting to visit and fish on Leesville Lake after enjoying many prior visits to the Atwood Lake region. John is a terrific host who communicated especially well, responding to questions and offering helpful information any time we needed it. The cabin is as described and was very comfortable, well furnished and stocked, and gave us an enjoyable experience for the 2 nights we stayed. Although I didn’t end up using the kayak this time, it’s a great perk to offer!

Not as we expected
Owner was great and communicative. Weather was not great which affected the stay. House smelled musty so not a place you want to spend a lot of time and with bad weather it had us leaving after just one night. Was interested in the kayaks, but did not get to use as we left the morning after we got there. Probably a space that can work for some, but was not what we expected.

Don't Flush!
The cottage was clean. First impression though was of a screen door that had a 1/2 inch gap from the door frame. Online pics displayed a fire pit, but there was no wood. Instructions said to "Forage for wood," but the yard is full of poison ivy. Finally there was a note in the bathroom that said, "Don't flush if you don't have to, and limit your water usage in the sink and shower because of the old small septic tank." Call me a spoiled American, but I expect to be able to flush the toilet after each use. We did rent a pontoon boat from the marina, and spent a nice day on the lake. Good price, no security deposit, and a nice polite young man who showed me how to drive the boat, and answered my questions.
Overall, the stay was decent. The biggest issue was the plumbing. Shortly before the scheduled stay, John (the owner) informed me that the septic is old and care is needed not to overwhelm the system. This means limiting flushes and shower times. This was new information to me and not in the description of the property. I do not think this was intentional, but had I known the extent, I would have made other arrangements. We had several instances that a plunger was required. When I'm paying for a vacation rental, I do not want to be doing any plunging. In the end, my wife was not happy with me.
Everything else was as advertised and John is very attentive. The lake is unbelievable (reminded me of far north Canada) and the boat was a nice addition. Actually, the boat was the "hook" for me since it's very convenient. This is why I took a chance on a "rustic cabin". I will not stay again only because I'd rather be working a fishing pole than a plunger. John is very nice and a good host. Hopefully, something can be done about that septic system.
We got so lucky finding this place! It will definitely be our anniversary getaway from now on! The decorations are amazing and so fun, the bed was super comfy (and I’m picky) and the water pressure in the shower was better than my own house!!!! I saw a review complaining about it being musty but it smelled exactly like a cabin should smell, just bring your favorite room spray! I brought my own kayak and my partner used a kayak provided by host and we had a BLAST! This was the PERFECT romantic getaway but it would also be a good place for a family or even a guys fishing trip or something. HIGHLY RECOMMEND!
We had a wonderful Father’s Day weekend! Rented a pontoon from local marina.. very reasonably priced. John was a great host, provides just about everything you will need! Our kids had the time of there lives! The neighborhood is also very friendly! We will be back!
Cozy little cabin for two was just what we needed. Fall colors were at their peak. The area was quiet as the weather turns cool. We used the kayaks and caught some fish, cooked on the grill and had a nice campfire.
This place was great. Pictures and descriptions are accurate. Place was clean, cute, cosey, comfortable, and had everything we needed for a great long weekend getaway. John was a fantastic host, very nice, and immediately responsive to questions. The swimming beach was cute and not crowded. The lake water was nice, beautiful and serene. So appreciated the use of the kayaks (it was my favorite part of the weekend). Thanks John! We will be back!
My husband and I stayed here for a couple days to celebrate our wedding, the area was very quiet and relaxing! The décor around the house was too fun! the grill and smoker were a wonderful addition to our meals!
We will definitely be back!
Took my husband to this little cabin on the lake for his birthday! We enjoyed our stay so much! We went on the pontoon and tried to fish, we didn't catch anything but we loved the serenity of the lake. We had a fire on Saturday evening and we loved the grate because it provided a fire they gave warmth all around instead in a ring. The bed was comfy and the kitchen had everything we needed. We loved the Cleveland Fandom in the bathroom! John was an amazing host from the time I booked until the time we left he gave so much helpful information and made sure to be available for whatever questions I had. Looking forward to coming back in the spring/summer season to catch us a big river monster hahaha. If you are looking for coziness and peace this is the place to be!
This was a work/getaway trip for us. We throughly enjoyed ourselves and plan on coming back next year. It was extremely convenient and communication w/John was so helpful. We had no cell service which was an added perk! We had a campfire each night with plenty of dry wood which we really appreciated. The bed and pillows were super comfy and the cabin came equipped with everything we needed.
