Great boat dock!

Stayed here for a short weekend getaway with our dog. Darrin and Renee were very gracious and responsive to questions. Place is as pictured and had everything we needed. The house is located in a quiet part of the lake, so we enjoyed hanging out on the dock and kayaking in peace without having to deal with a lot of boats. Will stay here again!

Just right!

This cabin is just right. It's adorable- spacious (more so than photos can depict)- and clean. Location on the lake is awesome- 15 min boat ride to Harbor Light Marina. Kitchen was well stocked and made meals a breeze. Lake access easy for almost anyone- not steep or long path. Had a wonderful week and would love to come back !very easy access from 1-85 as well- and groceries 15 minutes away.

Short weekend

It was very clean and easy to get too by boat. It would have been nice to have a table on deck to eat. The one on it was rotten. Big drop from steps to dock. It woukd have been nice to have some furniture on dock and regular grill. Would stay again.
