**Seasonal Note**
Lake season runs from Memorial Day to Labor Day, when marinas operate on regular hours and water levels are ideal for boating. In spring, fall, and winter, the weather and lake is beautiful but the water is colder and often lower in our cove, which may make dock tie-up difficult.

The closest boat launch is Sugar Hollow Marina, and local boat rentals are available nearby.

    We enjoyed the cozy cottage feeling. Everything was as it was described. Wasn't our favorite spot on the lake but that is our own preference. It worked great for two people.

    Such a perfect property for a family getaway. So convenient to the marina and boat ramp, and perfect dock to keep our boat for a few days. We had such a great time and hope to return!

    This was the most adorable lake cottage. So peaceful. Perfect for me, my hubby and our 15 year old. The two bathrooms with showers were very helpful. Right on the water with a dock so convenient for our boat. Also waking up with coffee and the view was pure bliss. Great location but just enough off the beaten path if you are looking for some R&R.

    This location is absolutely perfect. The dock is awesome for swimming and docking the boat. It’s few minutes from the marina with food and treats, a water obstacle course for kids, perfection! The home itself is adorable. Perfect for a small family, a few friends, or romantic getaway! Had everything we needed. Would definitely stay here again! The views from the deck are beautiful.

    The house was great. We had some problems finding the driveway in the dark, but had super prompt response from Katie, who helped us find the driveway without incident. Enjoyed the quiet landscape.

    We had a relaxing stay! While the weekend got a little busy, we found that week days on the lake, and at the cabin were quiet and peaceful. We rented a boat from the Sugar Hollow Marina and were very pleased to discover how close by it was. The dock and the deck were wonderful places to hang out and enjoy the lake and the views. Thanks for sharing this special home.

    This was the perfect setting for 4 days of pure bliss and relaxation. The house is absolutely adorable, views stunning, accessible stairs that weren’t too awful to get down to the very nice little dock. Every meal was had on the deck listening to the sounds of nature in all its glory. There were some issues with a couple outlets ceasing to work but plenty of power strips to accommodate. Maybe more than one dish towel & dishcloth for the kitchen would be nice but, overall I would 100% stay here again. This time it was myself and my bestie but looking to next summer for myself, my daughter, and my niece. If you’re looking for privacy, stunning views, and cozy accommodations, this is it! 5⭐️

    My wife and I came for a long boating getaway. The house was comfortable and perfect for what we were looking for. The driveway and parking isn't ideal, doable but tight for my truck to pull in and turn around. Not a reason to avoid the property however, just something to know. The house had a great deck, we cooked out a couple of times. The morning was fantastic, we sat out on the dock and watched the bass jump all over the water as the morning got started. I paddle boarded up and down the cover and enjoyed the peaceful location. Overall a good experience that we enjoyed a great deal. I will say the only downside were the neighbors next door. They have 2 large dogs that bark at everything. I heard them in the 6am hour as well as into the late night when the family left for dinner and left them outside on the back deck. They were nice people but not very accommodating with keeping their dogs quiet. The barking took away from the enjoyment of the cove, our personal time was constantly interrupted by the barking.
