The cabin was comfortable and well equipped. Bring spices and oil if you plan to cook. The owner was very responsive and proactive. The queen bed was comfortable and supportive. The couches were clean but a little older and not very comfortable. There was a fairly strong musty odor in the bedrooms, probably because it is an authentic cabin. We slept with the window open. Overall very peaceful, quaint and clean.

One star doesn't seem appropriate for the comments you made.
Overall I guess things were ok. The cabin was clean but could use some updating. The queen size bed was not of great quality and moved when my husband or I rolled over thus waking each other The cabin was rather small but was ok for the 2 of us other than the shower stall. It did not allow much room and if you weren’t careful you would hit the knob and either scald yourself with hot water or freeze because it turned to cold. The mirror behind the sink is set back in and no light by it made it difficult to see. There are no steps leading to the fire pit which is located on a hill beside the cabin. There is a hand rail but the hill has a steep grade. The fire pit hadn’t been cleaned for quite a while…good thing we had a shovel. The charcoal grill is very close to the ground making it difficult to stand over and cook. The cabin shares a driveway with 3 other cabins and is quite steep and narrow. It would be challenging if you met another vehicle coming up or down as there is really nowhere to pull to the side. I asked if there was room to park a boat. I was told yes. While that is correct the area had a pile of gravel on it and where it was located made it difficult to back the boat in to be able to have it ready to pull back out. The cabin above us also had a boat and we were told that their motor dragged coming up the driveway. Weather was great so I guess it made up for the less than expected accommodations.

Trudy, I'm sorry you were disappointed. Our cabins are not high-end as indicated by our pricing. We are cabins in the woods and I believe our photos show that. Regarding the shower in the bathroom, the stall is the size we could use in the floor plan. Our large cabins have a full bath with tub if you prefer more space. You noted our gravel pile used for filling gaps in the driveway but failed to mention there is a large grassy space where boats can be parked. You mentioned the hill and handrail to the campfire from the back porch but failed to mention the steps that come down from the front porch, if steps are your preference. When we come over to clean, we often pass others on the driveway and pull to the side (several places allow this) and yield to the other vehicle. If you're pulling a boat, we expect other guests would yield to you. For the price we charge and for allowing pets, we seem to be appreciated by most people.
Nice little cabin, close to marina and Raystown, hiking. Quiet and just what we needed. Had everything basic you needed, which was very helpful! Thank you!

Thanks for staying with us. We feel really badly when the weather isn't nice but, unfortunately, have no control over it! We're thankful that our guests understand and glad you made the best of it!
Love the location of this, the driveway is hard to get up especially if you don’t have a truck or SUV. Kitchen and bathroom very clean. Bedrooms were ok, definitely need new beds in both of them. I maybe got 3 hours of sleep because the beds were so warn.

Hi, Drista. Sorry you were not 100% satisfied. I know it's important to sleep well but many people don't find cabin beds as comfortable as the ones they have at home. In our defense, the mattresses are nor warn (worn?), they are relatively new. They are just basic, medium-firm and not the overstuffed or pillow-top style. Our lane is not paved but stone and most people get along fine with it unless they have very low-clearance vehicles.

The cabin was cozy and the privacy was great, look forward to visiting again.
We want to rent more than one cabin in the future for the whole family, it was so peaceful and quiet. We enjoyed not hearing anything but the birds singing. The lake is a short drive from the cabin so it seemed liked two vacations in one. Defiantly will be back

Crystal, we're so happy you enjoyed your stay! Many guests are discovering a wonderful experience during spring and fall. Summer is definitely our busiest time but we love our changes of seasons. As you have found, visiting in the spring definitely has its benefits. Thanks for posting your review!
Loved the area, and the cabin was in good shape. The only thing we wished was for a light in the bathroom over the mirror.

Robert, thanks for staying with us and for submitting a review. Our cabins are somewhat limited in space, especially in the bathrooms. We are sorry about the lack of lighting at the mirror. The ceiling fixture is centrally located so it's not the best for shaving or applying makeup. Other than this, we hope you enjoyed your stay!
About the host
Hosted by Linda White
With an eye to invest in rental property during the late 1990's, a broker led us to our lovely cabin property. We fell instantly in love with the property and made an offer to purchase right away. Although we were delayed in closing by paperwork on the seller's side, we began renting them even before we officially owned them! Thus began our real estate investing and my choice to become a licensed real estate agent. If you are leaning in that direction, I would gladly share my experience with you.
Why they chose this property
We have made many improvements since 1998, keeping the rustic charm but making the cabin more comfortable for our guests. The cabin is semi-private with natural vegetation surrounding it. A relaxing area awaits with a picnic table, campfire ring and cast-iron charcoal grill. While we are not set up to host large numbers of people for meals, etc. there are many picnic areas and pavilions nearby which can be secured for just such an event. These areas may be reserved by calling the US Army Corps of Engineers office.
What makes this property unique
Awaken to birds singing in the morning. If you rise early enough, you may see the deer trek down off the hill toward the creek (a deer run goes right across our property...make sure your eyes are open...one guest was walking her dog and startled a deer right behind her cabin!) Rock and roll to your hearts delight on the lake or the trails, then return to your cabin and grill your favorite meal. Relax by the campfire, enjoy your beverage and just chill.
