    White Oak Haven was a perfect stay for us - everything we needed and wanted! Very comfortable and quiet. Great communication with the owner, easy directions, and well appointed accommodations made for a great weekend getaway! Extra points to Mr. Jennings who generously provided a new grill before we got there! We will definitely be back!

    Beautiful Spaces

    The property was great for our family of four. Fully functioning kitchen and everything we needed. We walked and fished on Pine Lake. The nearby Eldora Aquatic Center was also a highlight. Tim was a great host.
