Perfect Stay

This was such a perfect place to stay! Kathy was a great host and kept communication with us the whole time. It’s only a short walk to the pier and a small beach, The house also has all the amenities you need and then some! I am recommending to all my family that comes and stays on the Barbee Chain O Lakes.

Cottage at Lake Barbee

The cottage needs updating & a through cleaning. Bed was lumpy,pullout couch pad was dirty,shower mat dirty & old. Location was ok.No firewood available for the outdoor fire pit.
Stayed 2 nights in Oct 2022
Response from VrboOwner on 28 Oct 2022
I wish I could have been there to show you around. The firewood was on the other side of the yellow shed. If you had an issue with anything you had numbers to call and you also had called me as you checked out and never said a word. By the way it is a new bed spring of 2022. I will continue to update my cottage just like the new heat and air that went in the week before you checked in. I will definitely discard a bath mat and or stained bed pad. I would hope in the future you would consider talking to the owner and give them a chance to fix things to your liking or comfort. Thank you for your input.

Great stay at Kathy's place!

Our very first time using VRBO and Kathy helped make it a terrific first impression. Not only was her communication leading up to our stay excellent (very quick responses to questions and answered our questions completely), she was even there to meet us, gave us a quick tour and made us feel very welcome to enjoy our stay. Cottage was very well appointed, had everything we needed (I'd say even more than advertised) and the patio was excellent for enjoying early morning coffee watching the sun rise. Perfect little cottage for a small family like ours, our 17-year-old son said the pullout bed was very comfortable and the kitchen had everything you'd need for meals. Great location for a quiet weekend enjoying walks or time on one of the lakes. We highly recommend!

About the host

Hosted by Kathy selby

Host profile image
I grew up on the Barbee Lakes. As a child visiting my Grandparents at the lake all summer. Raking leaves in the fall, ice skating in the winter, and painting cottages in the spring. Summers are awesome! My Grandparents rented 20 cottages out in the summer and it was awesome for all of us kids. We met so many people and had fun with all the children that came to vacation! I have been blessed with getting some of the cottages back into the family and hope I can make your vacation as wonderful as it was when I was growing up. My Grandparents were great teachers!
