Family vacation
Stayed Thursday to Sunday. Used a local public ramp because it was my 1st trip with the 25 ft boat wanting to be cautious. The ramp was very close to the rental. Used Garmin to navigate to the cabin. The rental as as advertised and could comfortably sleep 10 with no one in a couch. We were just 4. The Whitman Hollow Marina was fun & accomodates guest boat parking to eat or hang at the bar. Lots of live music. This is the cleanest & best lake have been on. The view from this rental is perfect. Good padding to park the boat. Excellent support & quick response from the owner.

Great stay
My family and I stayed here for a long weekend staycation and it was amazing. Plenty of entertainment from Froggies and everything you’d need to never leave the floating house if you didn’t want to

Beautiful floating house and lake
The floating house was very clean and roomy for the four of us. Beds were very comfortable! We had an issue with the hot tub but the maintenance man was very quick to respond to questions. Beautiful lake but the weather was a bit too chilly that time of the year.

Cute little cabin!
What a great little piece of heaven! Not only is it cute as a button.. but it’s very clean and in a great location. The owner was very helpful and always available for questions and suggestions. The boat ramp is very easy, not steep and right there close to Froggies. We fished in the early mornings in the close coves and could be on the main lake in no time
We will for sure book this again!

Amazing stay
This house was amazing for what we needed. We enjoyed being right on the water. Then when the weather wasn’t the best we had games to play and warmed up in the hot tub. I would highly recommend this property for anyone looking to enjoy time in the lake!
