Great in every way!

Courtney has put a great deal of though into making your stay relaxing, comfortable and stocked with essentials. It’s very clean and spacious with very comfortable sofas, chairs, and beds! The kitchen has all the essentials you’ll need, including lots of spices. It has a great view of the lake tributary from the patio deck outside or from the sunroom that runs the full length of the back of the house. Large trees to enjoy the shade. We enjoyed kayaking, and used the paddle board. The corn hole pad they’ve got is great fun too! Lights for outside ambience at night. We didn’t use the fire pit but it’s a great added feature. Great area to walk or bike the streets and enjoy the neighborhood. Courtney checks in to make everything is okay and was quick to respond when one set of lights didn’t work due to power outage. It was an easy fix. Loved our stay and we’ll be back.

Wonderful lake house getaway

This sweet lake house was even better than expected. It was perfectly clean and the host had provided everything you would want or need to fully enjoy the stay. The house is perfectly decorated and has every comfortable of home including a fully stocked kitchen, bathroom necessities such as fresh toothbrushes and nice toiletries, fluffy comforters, and a nice smell greets you when you arrive. The closed in patio is nice for morning coffee with a view of the lake and there is a large outdoor area with activities if you want to partake. Courtney was quick to answer any question we had and made the experience so nice. My daughter and I will be back next time we go to Canton!

Amazing and responsive host, warm, inviting, and spotless!! So glad we chose this Vrbo… we picked based on proximity to my daughters Gun Barrel City house. We are returning because we absolutely loved the space! I especially liked the sunroom, felt like I was outside without being out in actual heat of the day. Cortney is the Best!!

Details Matter!

I have stayed at many VRBO properties over the years and this is #1 on my list for the attention to all the details that made my Mom’s stay comfortable. We normally rent something larger, to fit our family of 10, but this time it was just my Mom and me with my daughters visiting. The size was perfect! It felt MUCH larger than the square footage listed in the description!!!

A spectacular getaway

If you're looking for peace and solitude topped off by stylish and comfortable surroundings, then this is it!! This place is a true gem from top to bottom. We enjoyed our stay here so much on our very first family ladies' trip and this adorable home provided everything that we could ask for. We absolutely love the ability to sit on the dock, fish and take in the outdoors plus have to use of the fantastic, enclosed patio room when it was raining. You cannot go wrong here! Thank you so much for such a wonderful place!

We’ve stayed at mini vacation rental location and this one supersedes them all by far! Courtney has given careful attention to all the little details. Decorating was in keeping with the theme of the property and we found the rental to be clean and very well stocked with everything we needed from condiments to water to bug spray.

Relaxed to the Max

This was a nice & cozy spot, perfect for my boyfriend & I to have a relaxing getaway. I informed Courtney that we were celebrating a belated birthday & an upcoming birthday, and she surprised us with a cake & balloons. The house was very clean & had everything that we needed. Although the house was nice & comfortable, we spent most of our time outside on the backyard deck, by the firepit and on the deck by the lake. Courtney reached out to us to make sure that our stay was going ok & to let us know to reach out to her if we needed anything. We will most definitely be returning!

Thanksgiving Stay Review

The kitchen is well stocked with cookware and necessities. Living area pleasant and included fall decorations. Very clean place. Towels very nice. The Sun porch looks pleasant. However, we were limited to the house, due to rain and temp. Gracious hostess. I let my friend stay in the main bedroom and I was stuck with with the second bedroom. Ugh! Bunk beds, no table and lamp! (So this rental is limited to a couple with kids.) You can’t read, have a leisurely cup of coffee in bed etc. Used my cooler to sit items.on! TV choices and Wi-Fi were bad. The tv on line has outdated choices and I can’t recommend HULU. The bathroom needs a small table to sit toiletries etc. on. Either you try to balance your items on the sink or place on the floor. I recommend you get a narrow table with chairs that you sit behind the sofa. Not everyone wants to sit on bar stools. Per my friend, the bed in main bedroom needs a step stool. I do appreciate you driving over on Thanksgiving to help us with the tv! Hope this helps! Glenda

Cottage on the lake

This cute little house is on the canal very close to the open lake. Everything was provided for in this house. Beds and bedding were extremely comfortable! We loved spending time on the closed in porch since it was too hot to sit outside. Unfortunately, due to the drought there wasn't any water in the canal. Other than that, this stay was perfect!
