Great getaway spot

We loved our stay here. It is such a comfortable cottage. We stayed here because our daughter was playing in a golf tournament at Lake Russell State Park and this could not have been more convenient. It was a wonderful home away from home!

The check in was smooth as butter and the house is super cute. The kids had a wonderful time and watching Bambi and his family graze in the mornings was a plus! The owners were easy to talk to and everything was just what we needed. Will definitely stay again!

Perfect Stay for Our Group

We had a golf tournament in the state park just a mile away. The cabins in the park were booked, but this home turned out to be a better option. My team had a blast playing ping pong, cards, arcade basketball, and fuss ball in the massive three car garage. We brought cornhole boards and we had room to do that in that dry space as well. We hope to stay here every year when we attend this event!!
