Good to know

Cabin with newer addition that doubles the living space. 4 of the 6 bedrooms/sleeping spaces are on the second floor and require stairs to access. The front drive offers parking for a max of 6 vehicles; from the front drive to the front door there is 6 wide steps down. The double cabin sits on steep, rocky/wooded land. Gravel paths connect the fire pit area to the driveway and down to the lake. Lake is also accessible via deck steps from the house. This property is perfect for families vacationing or celebrating the holidays together. The lodge sits in a quiet, private neighborhood where friendly neighbors value respect, peace and quiet. We have a zero tolerance policy for parties. Quiet hours must be respected, 11pm-7am. The lake water level will vary throughout the year. The Corp of Engineers (COE) controls the water level and lowers the water level every winter to a “winter pool” and then slowly raises it starting in April to the Summer level. Summer pool is from Memorial Day-October 15th.

This cabin is right on the river overlooking the water, has multiple decks to enjoy the view, and has plenty of room to relax. It felt even bigger than the photos depicted. The hosts were great, responsive, and the self check in was easy. No complaints whatsoever. Would stay again.

This was a great place for our family! We had 3 couples and 7 kids total (4-16yo) and we stayed 3 nights. Unfortunately with the abnormal amount of rain before our stay, the water was very high which made it impossible to fish. But Abby was wonderful and suggested other fishing spots. The house was clean, organized and well stocked with everything. Very accommodating with more than you typically see with renting a home. It was overall very comfortable and had enough room for everyone. The kids loved that they pretty much had their own apartment with a kitchen, living room, bathroom and bedrooms on one side of the house. Everyone enjoyed the game room, firepit and kayaking. We did get several splinters from the floor in the gameroom but we just made sure to wear our shoes or slippers and had no other issues. I highly recommend this house to anyone wanting a nice family getaway! Thanks for the great memories!
