Beautiful location exactly as pictured. We stayed 3 nights end of Sept. into beginning of Oct. Peaceful and quite. We did not see one person on the lake during our stay. The cabin was cozy and well stocked. Nice local brewery close by.

Cute cabin, great view. The oven was broken and kept randomly turning on and heating up, even though the oven was turned off. The host was aware and knew they needed to fix it. Hopefully they will before next tenant.

Very impressed with this cozy cabin getaway on the beautiful White Oak lake. Dana was easy to communicate with and made our short stay so peaceful and comfortable with plush beds and fully stocked bathroom and kitchen. The view of the lake is breathtaking! It was just perfect!

Great quiet getaway spot

We had a lovely time at Dana's cabin on the lake. The views are incredible and the home is well stocked. We appreciated her description about the sulfur smell of the water. I think no one had rented the place for a while and though it was very clean, the sulfur smell of the water was very strong, and none of us ended up showering the first night of our stay. It got less strong the next day, so would recommend coming a day before to let the water smell dissipate if planning on hosting guests. Maybe it's less strong in the summer, and the house certainly had a lot of toys and canoes for summer fun! Thanks.

Our vacation at the lake

We had an absolutely lovely time in your beautiful home by the lake. I would love to stay in the summer for a few days. We truly enjoyed ourselves. My daughter and I were able to spend some wonderful one on one time together and enjoy our holiday.
