Excellent stay. Great property and only 7 minutes away from stores etc. Host was easy to get ahold of. Beautiful lake where kids could actually swim. Outstanding fishing , wish I brought stronger line. Some seriously large catfish after 6pm. AllIn all absolutely satisfied and kids had a blast. Perfect getaway!

Visit family

We travel with our pet and therefore it is easier to stay at a VRBO than a hotel. The place was great, had a nice yard for the dog to play and outdoor furniture to use to enjoy the views of the river and the beautiful fall leaves.

Nice place

VRBO misleading, they show average per night and once you book that amount goes up per night plus the fees, ended up much higher than expected, learning curve for me, attention to detail is necessary

Do NOT Stay Here

Words cannot accurately describe our experience. The property directly adjacent to this cabin is appalling. At minimum, request photos of the neighborhood BEFORE booking. We couldn't even get out of the car without a turkey harassing us. The property owner let us know he had a baseball bat just inside the cabin door to defend ourselves because this happens all the time. That was just one of hundreds of animals that are located at the property next door. (Pigs, guineas, ducks, chickens, turkeys, etc.) They constantly make noise and walk across this VRBO yard. A neighbor down the road let us know that the family who attempted to stay before us only lasted an 1 1/2 hours before they left. When I asked about a possible refund, I was told "I may consider refunding some of your stay depending on response on VRBO." I want to prevent other families from having the same experience. We save up hard-earned money for rare vacations like this, and I was so sad to spend a lot of money on a devastating stay. My guess is other people haven't left honest reviews because they wouldn't have been able to get any money back. I'll gladly forgo a refund to stop the selfishness. The filthy neighbor is selfish because he doesn't care how he's impacting the neighborhood. This property owner is also selfish by inaccurately describing the property, charging a lot of money for the stay, and withholding refunds if any negative feedback is left. The final straw was hearing a mouse in the living room wall.

Rustic and relaxing. Appointed with all the amenities we needed. Large living areas and yard. Right on the river. Use of pontoon was fantastic. Also fished off the dock. Our dog enjoyed it too!
