Good enough
We just had a short stay, simply a place to sleep. Main bed was squeaky, the water was slimy( too soft), and the bunk beds were difficult to make. Otherwise it was fine enough.

Cute cabin and very clean. They had everything that we needed. Loved sitting on the deck by the channel and relaxing. It was also very central to places we wanted to visit. Thank you!

Perfect “weekend” getaway
My husband and our kids(2 dogs) had an amazingly wonderful time. We got to watch baby robins leave the nest in the back one morning while enjoying coffee and the peacefulness of the neighborhood. It was super windy so we weren’t able to take the kayaks out but we did get some fishing done at one of the near by parks and off the back dock. One of the rainy days we enjoyed some good ol VHS classics(the collection is top tier). Definitely will be looking to stay again in the future.

Ok Stay
House was nice, however, dont expect closets or anyplace to store your clothes except your suitcase on the floor. They need to hire a cleaning service to clean after previous renters leave. We found dirty frying pan in oven and food left in freezer. Bathroom floor needed swept and toilet was not clean. We were expected to clean house unless you paid cleaning fee when we left and I am sure it was cleaner than when we got there. Dont expect to be able to swim at this location because nothing was trimmed around channel. Had to fight weeds to put our kayaks in the water. Not really worth the price being charged.

I rented the "blue gill" for a 3 week work stint. It was exactly what I expected based upon the online description. The owener is very responsive and easy to work with. Would recommend!

Not a clean home, but a responsive host
Pros: - Host was responsive and quick - Big movie selection of old films to watch at night Cons: - Parts of the home were clean, others not. Yellow stains all over bed comforter and pillows, other people’s hair on pillows and couch, nightstands had not been cleaned, house smells strongly of mildew - You and your belongings will smell like mildew once you get home - No suggestions of things to do in the area

Great little cabin
Came here to do some ice fishing. Perfect little cabin for us, has all you need for such a trip. Access to the main lake just a few houses down the road, with the canal out back (which I'm sure is awesome in the summer).

Nice, clean place to stay in the water! Everything is as described, and it was perfect for a nice, relaxing getaway. It was a very nice touch that we were able to bring our dogs! That is hard to find! Thank you Dewayne for being a great host!
