Had a great stay. Tiffany was easy to communicate with. Loved the store right across the street from the house. Had fun karaoke night at the corner bar.. Lake was beautiful. Unfortunately our stay was to short and didnt get to take advantage of the lake, but was cool for it to be an option.

We had a wonderful time and will definitely be back! The main bedrooms had super soft beds, which is not our preference, so my husband and I slept in the single beds in the game room. The house has all the immensities our family needed, and we didn't even use them all! Best part, we watched the fireworks from the backyard.

Home away from home!

We felt very comfortable in the cabin. Kitchen facilities were appreciated, beds were comfortable, and we enjoyed sitting on the porch during the evening. We wouldn’t hesitate returning.
