We had such a great stay at this cabin! It was the perfect size for our family of five, with four beds and plenty of room both inside and outside. The private dock was just a few steps away, which was perfect for our fishing weekend.The host was easy to converse with and all messages were received in a timelu manner. We really enjoyed the backyard area with the chairs and fire pit, and the cabin being on a corner lot gave us plenty of space and privacy. There were neighbors nearby, but they weren’t too close, so it still felt very peaceful and private.The cabin was clean, neat, and had all the amenities we expected — and then some. There’s also a small store just down the road, which was really convenient for those little things we inevitably forgot or ended up needing.We didn’t catch nearly as many fish as we hoped, but honestly, the location, cabin, and overall area were exactly what we were looking for. We had a great time and would absolutely stay here again!

Sorry you had a bad experience with the internet. The only option in the area is wireless internet so unfortunately the best speed we can get is around 2MB. I do make sure to outline that speeds in the listing description as well.

Cozy fishing lodge!

We had a great stay over the 4th of July! The house was stocked with everything we could have needed. The dock was a short walk from the property and we spent a lot of time down there fishing and swimming. Internet was spotty, making it hard to stream movies when the kids were tuckered out from swimming, but just allowed us to spend more time together!

Fishing Family Stay

We stayed for a fishing tournament in the area and had family join. Close to the bait shop and had parking to back in a boat. Dock was close to walk to and hang out while the kids fished. Very clean and was perfect for our long weekend. The host was very quick to reply and helpful when needed.

Clean cabin in a quiet wooded area.

Nice and comfortable sized place and easy to find. Stayed for a long fishing weekend with my brother. Everything was quite functional. Plenty of space for parking the truck and boat on premise. Kitchen was clean and everything easy to use. Beds were pretty good. On the negative side, there are not any dressers or places in the bedrooms to store one's clothing and the bathroom is rather small. Overall though, the place is well maintained and was a comfortable stay.

Fishing getaway

Angelo was an amazing host. House and location were perfect. Angelo had the air conditioning on upon our arrival which was good cuz it was in the '90s very commutative answered all that questions promptly. Fishing was a little tough with the warm weather but even so caught plenty of fish My father was with me who was 72 and had no problems. Everything was easy access. Perfect location for a getaway. Highly recommend. We had a great time and we will be back for sure. Absolutely perfect!

Quiet neighborhood near the lake and natural areas

Our family had a very nice at this VRBO! The owner was super-responsive when we had a few quick questions, and the house itself is very well-maintained. As promised, the neighborhood was very quiet, even though it was a busy holiday weekend. We were there to birdwatch, and I'm happy to report that there were great birds right in the yard! We spent most of our time nearby at the Necedah National Wildlife Refuge. It was a really nice base camp for birdwatching.

Excellent!

Our stay was wonderful. Dealing with the owner couldn't have gone any better. Easy booking and communication prior to our trip. The place was very clean and well stocked! We had no problems and the owner contacted us while we were there just to make sure things were going well. Because it was a winter getaway we couldn't use some of the amenities, but loved looking at the snow, frozen lake, ice fishermen and the deer. Looking forward to summer getaway.
