Great Place

We enjoyed our stay. The house was beautiful. I wish we would have known there was no internet, and the house stayed under 70 degrees because of the wood, which makes sense but we have never stayed in a log house so was surprised by this. All in all this was the perfect place for our stay and we do hope to be back.

Awesome cabin

The owner was very nice and communicated very well. The property is absolutely gorgeous. Actually i would say breath taking having a cup of coffee on the back porch watching the sun rise. The dock was a little sketch to walk on. There was rotted stairs on it and the yard definitely needed a good mowing but with the rains we have had it happens. The home was gorgeous overall. My family loved it and wants to be back

Holiday trip with family. Great views! Thin walls. The master bedroom has a gap on floor to downstairs bedroom you can see light and hear everything in that room. No privacy. No curtains in master batheoom in front of tub. Other than that it was a great!stay.

Great location, great house on the lake, loved it

Home was super nice. Big and open log house, plenty of room, lots of covered outdoor entertaining area including a screened-in porch. House is on Lake Hamilton, down a whole bunch of stairs. There's a covered spot for a boat down there, which we used. Short boat trip down the river to Bubba's (or a pretty long car ride). Description said that cell service could be spotty, but we had no issues. Plenty of room to park, including boat trailers, in the circle drive. Pool table was in great condition. We would definitely rent here again.

The place was nice over all. The grill was old dirty and falling apart. Cooking skillets were rusty and not useable. Outside balcony all around was not clean spider webs everywhere. Chairs were dirty outside. The bar ice maker didn't work old and molded. The pool table sticks were not useable and broke.

Perfect for a Large Group

We vacationed with my in-laws and young nieces and nephews. The property is gorgeous, especially overlooking the lake. My toddler LOVED exploring. The house was definitely big enough to accommodate everyone and glad they had streaming for the kiddos to watch a show or two during downtime. We mainly just wanted to get away with family in nature. A couple downsides would be that the windows don't have light blocking curtains so it was VERY bright in the mornings. Not great for mornings or naps with little ones. We didn't end up fishing because the steps to the dock were quite steep and no one wanted to trek back up. There were a few things not provided like a grill brush or lighter fluid which would have been helpful. We bought both and left them for the next group :) Overall, we would definitely stay again.
