A split bedroom design offers three bedrooms with ensuite main bedroom and two additional bedrooms with jack-n-jill bathroom with two sink areas.

Beautiful Cabin on the lake

This was the perfect location to get away and relax. From the fireplace and roasting marshmellows to feeding the ducks on the lake. We really enjoyed it here and plan to book again.

Most relaxing get-away in years!

We took a weekend to get away for an anniversary. The stay at One Oar Missing was terrific and very relaxing. While we did take a little time to stroll through some of the little shops in Mentone, we spent most of the time relaxing in the sunroom or down by the water on the floating dock. The area is quiet and allows you to disconnect and just enjoy nature for a while! We will definitely be returning in the future.

Nice, large house with great room and extra-large screened in porch. There is a boardwalk down to the water where there is a nice dock. We spent a lot of time on the dock and on the screened in porch. We also cooked out and ate outside. Highly recommend.

Lake getaway

One Oar Missing was the perfect place on the lake! I had friends and family come up to visit and stay at the cabin. I did a lot of cooking and the kitchen was well stocked with everything I needed, even the correct measuring cups. The porch was a true bonus!

The house could not have been better for my family. The kitchen was well equipped and we enjoyed making our meals in it. The rooms were more than adequate for us, allowing for everyone to have space. The recliner couch in the den is outstanding! The back decks were great and the pier was enjoyed by all. The house could not have been more welcoming. Holly was a first rate host throughout. We do hope to visit One Oar Missing again.

A Family Place

Clean and very well supplied with everything needed for a quiet weekend stay. While I realized the house did not have a dining table, I thought the large bar area would work for us. We did not find the bar suitable for sitting to eat or playing games.
