Summer Getaway

Perfect places for a getaway. Super clean with plenty of amenities. Was a great place for all ages with plenty of space indoors and lots to do outdoors. Kayaks and canoes were great and super easy to get to. Swimming deck made it easy for kids to get in and out of the lake. Fire pit was a great place to end each day. Would highly recommend staying here

Great stay off the grid

We enjoyed being off the grid. We did some fishing, we used the canoe and kayaks and we used the fire ring a lot. The cabin was cozy. The only thing that we weren't thrilled about was the trash removal. It was a bit of a job and added some time to our already long drive. But overall we loved the cabin and the amentities.

Relaxing get away with a few suggestions

The property itself was great. We had the opportunity to use the kayaks and the fire pit. We definitely liked the house and it’s surroundings. There was plenty of space . We found that garbage and recyclables added up quickly if you are staying more than 2 days. We were cooking 3 meals a day. Our suggestion is you put information in iabout the place that you can buy 10 bags for )20.00 at the Pulaski Transfer Station. Also there is no place to keep the garbage until you transport it somewhere. We had to refill the g 5 gallon gas container 4 Times because we had to be indoors2/1/2 days with rain The bed in the loft is a full size bed not a queen size. It needs to be noted that if you have a CPAP machine , the generator has to run during the night. We feel we should not be charged for extra gasoline to fill the generator., after the first refill.

Great location & Top of the line hosts!

We loved our stay. 10 women, 1 shower, no wifi or internet and a generator. What could go wrong? Nothing! It was perfect and Jamie was so quick to assist with any questions we had at any time up to and during our stay. I would absolutely stay here again!

Overall good stay

The house was really nice and owners were super responsive. We ended up being in the house quite a bit so had to buy gas several times for the generator. The refrigerator is a camp style (smaller then a normal fridge) which we didn’t know so we also had to make a few trips to get ice for coolers. The lake was pretty small, not really ideal for swimming. Having use of the kayaks and paddle boats was nice. We enjoyed sitting out by the fire pit and enjoyed the screened in porch. The house itself was kid friendly but there wasn’t much for younger kids to do. Overall good place to hang with friends if you don’t mind being “off the grid”.

Wonderful Stay!

We were looking for a cozy relaxing stay and that’s exactly what we got! We went fishing, kayaking (kayaks came as part of the amenities), and stayed in to enjoy the amenities in the house! The best part was the private lake just a walk away and the property manager was so pleasant and accommodating! Would absolutely recommend this location to any one looking for a gateway.

Great stay

Everything on the property was as described. Beautiful setting. it is off the grid for a peaceful getaway. If you do need to have a little more electricity you’ll have to get some gas for the generator. It was not difficult to use. We simply had someone that needed to use a CPAP machine at night so we had to run the generator a little more. Great communications with owners. Would not hesitate to rent again
