The place is just as seen in the pictures and as stated in the description. Plenty of room for 6 adults if 4 of them don’t mind sharing the bunk room or splitting up by using the pull out couch. Abundantly equipped with everything we needed and much more. Nice outside deck with a beautiful view of the cove or the big screen TV. Great fishing right off the dock. The owner was easily reached and very helpful and friendly to deal with! Perfect setting for anyone with or without a boat wanting a lake get away.
This property is a jewel ! True informal lake living hidden well back on Duck Creek and easily accessible to local highlights of bird island area. Swim dock with boat tie-up availability are nice added amenities!
Overall, the stay was great. We enjoyed the house and private lake access. The nearby marina made boat rental easy. The location was great as we needed to travel both north and south of this cove. There were a few issues with plumbing in the kitchen and the dryer did not work. Also, the lake side of the house had a severe mosquito problem.
Perfect little waterfront property for a weekend getaway with the family. Loved that it was so close to the water. We just parked the boat at the dock and could just jump in and go out on the lake. Kitchen was well equipped with everything to cook with.
We used the grill and had steak dinner outside on the deck while watching the big screen.
We had a good week in this low boat traffic little cove. The sunsets were perfect and the house was stocked with everything you need except groceries. The dock needs work but functional. Overall we enjoyed our stay and recommend this property if you’re looking for a calm and quiet side of the lake.
This house is in a wonderful location on Duck Creek. The sunsets are beautiful. The rental is well equipped with anything you could possibly need. Be sure to bring bug spray/citronella if you want to use the deck, and you will want to, there are torches attached to the railing. Kids had a blast swimming off the dock and we were thankful for the ladder. Check - in was a breeze and communication was great!
The location of Duck Creek Getaway is very nice. My husband enjoyed fishing from the dock and the sunsets were beautiful. However, the house needs a really good spring cleaning and some general upkeep. A major disappointment for us was the lack of propane for the gas grill. We also saw a couple of roaches in one of the bathrooms. Some signage on the outside would make the house easier to find and some instructions on the inside about what is available and how to prepare to leave would be helpful. With some attention to detail, the Duck Creek Getaway could be a very nice place to stay.

Peaceful and beautiful!
This property is beautiful and peaceful! It had everything you need and it was great! We enjoyed the outside deck with the TV. It was great to have the dock to fish on. A cover to the deck would be nice for shade. And also, there were some cobwebs in the windows. Also, none of the Wii games worked. But overall it was great and we plan to go again!

Cozy Place
Nice, quaint, cozy place. However, this is only a 2 bedroom. The outside patio was a nice touch with the t.v. Also was great being able to have our boat easily accessible at the dock. The dock does need to have some repairs as some of the boards were unsafe.

Views are better in person
Please correct your posting to indicate that there are only 2 bedrooms. We were expecting 3 bedrooms. Thankfully there were enough beds to sleep 6 as advertised.
Aside from that, the property was great. The views are fantastic from the back and the backyard is quintessential lake life. The TV on the patio was even a nice add. We practically ate every meal out on the deck. The reason I am giving 4 stars instead of 5 was due to the cleanliness of the home. While the place was organized, it was missing that lived in feel as was evident by the presence of a few crickets and a couple spiders once we arrived. Being on a lake in the woods, it wasn't a big deal and certainly did not detract from the picturesque setup at this lakeside rental.
