Unfortunately, I was only there for one night for a business trip. So, I arrived late and was unable to take advantage of the property beyond just sleeping and eating breakfast. However, I appreciated the quiet, which allowed me to work late and get some sleep before the next day's agenda.

Loved it!

Was a quick getaway for the family & was looking to disconnect. We loved sitting on the dock & relaxing by the water. Gigi had everything you could possibly need (we've stayed at other VRBOs that had nothing extra). If you're looking for a cozy lake getaway - I highly recommend!

This was the perfect place for the 5 ladies to meet up and spend a relaxing weekend on the river. We spent the majority of our time on the back porch and loved every minute! The owners were awesome and very easy to communicate with! Highly recommend! We will definitely be back!

Exceeded Expectations

Everything was amazing. We spent 2 weeks here and are sad to leave. Gigi and family were great. Very personable And accommodating. Extremely clean (and I'm extremely picky about that) and the view is incredible. A little hideaway. My husband and I are already planning a return trip. Highly recommended and will definitely be recommending Gigi's place to all of our guests who visit from out of town.

We stayed at A Little piece of Heaven from May 23rd till June 6th 2023. We had a very relaxing time, we had our little Yorkie with us she made herself at home. My Grandson lives close by and he brought his little family over to swim and fish and they loved it. GiGi and Pam the owners where perfect hosts. We wouldn't hesitate on booking again in the future...Thank You so much for a wonderful stay..George and Diane also Penny🐾

We enjoyed our time at Gigi's basement lake retreat immensely. Think old school lake house vibe in a beautiful setting. It was very clean and comfortable. There is a steep set of stairs leading down to the dock and it is well worth the effort to enjoy the view and setting on the river. Or you can just sit on the patio outside and enjoy the view from there. You may even be visited by the resident Shih Tzu or one of her buddies. I loved watching the abundant bird and fish life. Wished I had brought a fishing pole and binoculars, but was content to sit and watch all the same. Our only regret was we couldn't stay longer.

Beautiful view but smells like cigarette smoke

The property is very pretty has a nice view of the lake but if you are sensitive to cigarette smoke I would not recommend this place the room smells very strongly of cigarette smoke and air fresheners the walkway from the door down to the boat dock was not lit and they had no lights on the boat dock so it was very dark under the amenities it says there is washer and dryer but there were no washer and dryers and the shower is super small it's about the size of a camper shower and the people upstairs are very heavy footed when walking and the ceiling squeaks every time they walk across the floor every morning like clockwork at 6:00 we are woke up by the people upstairs I even tried sleeping with ear plugs but I could still hear them walking around other than that it's a very beautiful peaceful place
