The Cabin was cozy and it was relaxing with the lake view. The place is a little dated and be prepared to do the dishes and put them away.There is a small firepit but be careful, getting chairs and yourself down there is treacherous.

From the Owner: "Thank you for your feedback. We do have it listed that guests need to wash and put away dishes and a dishwasher isn't listed in the amenities for that reason. It is also mentioned that the property may not be appropriate for anyone with limited mobility.
We understand you may feel the place is dated but we have many say they appreciate the rustic charm of the property. We do our very best to keep all amenities updated and replace things as they show too much use. We do wish you would have reached out if anything was unsatisfactory during your stay."
I booked the guest house for my mother-in-law for a little getaway. She had a wonderful stay. She did have to contact the host a couple of times for some things, but all matters were dealt with quickly and professionally. She said she would stay there again. House was clean and stocked. The surrounding area was peaceful. There is a nice little grocery store a few miles from the house if you need anything.

Thank you so much for the review! And thank you to your mother-in-law who was so patient with us. We hate that we had call the repairman out during her stay, but I'm glad we were still able to accommodate her and that it didn't hinder her trip.
Comfortable cottage with access to the lake. Next door to the main house. Nice view of the lake. The access is steep and rocky. I took kayaks and put them in the lake there. Care needs to be taken navigating the rocky terrain. Overall a very nice stay.

From the owner: "We’re glad this guest enjoyed the comfortable cottage, beautiful lake views, and time on the water. As noted, lake access here does involve a natural, rocky slope, but many travelers find the effort worthwhile for direct water access. We’ll continue ensuring the home is welcoming for relaxing, enjoyable stays."
The house was clean and a nice view of the lake. It was a peaceful relaxing place to hang out. The driveway was tricky to pull in and park with a boat in tow. Overall a nice place to stay.
Super nice house on the lake. Loved waking up and sitting on the couch looking out at the Waterview. The lake house was really clean other than the raccoons digging in the trash lol

End of summer getaway
We enjoyed the lake paradise cabin very much. Wish we could of stayed longer.
Enjoyed our stay immensely! Everything was exactly as pictured. Good places to eat very close and just a short drive into Branson. Can't wait to go back!
We wanted a nice quiet place to spend a week during Spring break. This was the perfect place for that goal. Very clean, beautiful view off of the deck, and very quiet. Five stars all the way
Very enjoyable setting and aesthetics. Hosts have created a very welcoming environment with the necessary essentials. They were also quick to respond when needed. Fun to see the variety of wildlife. Close to town but also felt like it was miles away. Would definitely stay again. Even considering bringing the entire family to stay in the main house next time.
We loved staying at this property. It was very clean, great view from the deck, easy access to the lake. Grocery store and places to eat only minutes away
