Nice small 1 bedroom cabin for the price. Kitchen could use better lighting and a bind for the window above the sink. Clean and well stocked I would stay here again.

We've stayed here multiple times over the past few years. Each stay has been fantastic and went off without a hitch. The close proximity to the boat ramp and fuel make this an ideal spot to stay if you're going out on the lake for a few days. There's enough room in the carport for me to pull my 22 foot pontoon into and hook up to electricity and water. Big shoutout to Tim and Shannon for being amazing hosts!!

Tim and Shannon are amazing hosts with an equally amazing property.

We've stayed here several times now. It's pretty much our favorite place to stay on that end of the lake. The proximity to the boat ramp, the property itself, and the other boating related amenities make this an amazing place to stay.
