Relaxing fishing paradise

Was a beautiful location near multiple fishing lakes. With the kayaks and the boat really madeIt a wonderful fishing experience. We caught blue gill, bass, bowfin, and many catfish. The owner Charley was extremely friendly and accommodating. We will be back in the summer.

**Girl's Weekend - SUCCESS!!**

Robin and Charley were wonderful to work with and we were able to easily access the property. It is a cozy little lake cabin that feels like family. There is so much more room than it looks like in the pictures!! And the treats that were left for us was even more of a bonus! We slept like babies and awake to a cool crisp morning with coffee on the deck. It was a terrific time and we may have to plan another girls weekend here!

Overall, we found the house comfortable and generous with welcoming gifts (s'more fixings and popcorn, for example). Neither of us noticed that there would be no dishwasher, so only one of us could do dishes because of mobility issues. I'd also recommend telling people that they might want to bring their own drinking water if they are put off by mineral tasting water.

Women’s Weekend Getaway

The house on the lake was the perfect place for four friends to spend a weekend getaway. Everything was easy- location, getting to, and checking in and out. The Hansons are great hosts and were easy to message with and answered any questions we had about our stay. While the weather did not cooperate we still had a wonderful time hiking and photographing nature at the nearby Wing Haven Preserve and dining out in Angola. Everything was clean and perfect, lots of great space, and being dog-friendly was the icing on the cake. We will definitely be back! -Michelle & Company

Great Property

This was a great place to stay! Beautiful sunsets, quite setting, access to water toys was great to get out on the lake. My son caught a bunch of crappie. It is remote however your very close to town. I would recommend it as place to stay. Had everything you would need.

What a great getaway. Right on the water, plenty of room, lots of water “toys” (boats/kayaks). Owner was great to work with and provided more than the basics. Even had some dog treats and beds. Well worth the price!
