The property features a Zero entry "beach" into a no-wake cove for family fun or floating around. The Little Gravois cove is a shallower cove, perfect for relaxing and lake fun.

Large fire pit available at the waterfront for guest use. Currently 3 kayaks are available. Fresh water stream at end of cove that can be traveled for approximately a mile, water clears, fish schools and turtles have been observed underwater.

Lots of potential. Clean and thoughtful owners. 1/2 block from the water. One of the cabinet doors hits a light fixture. Watch your head on the ceiling fan in the living room LOL! Not trailer friendly parking.
This cabin is not as pictured on VRBO. Though I debated writing this review, as the property owner did share he would write a poor review of us as renters if I did, it is important to me that families with children are not in this same position. First, the patio area pictured is not accurate to what is on site. The covered area is in disrepair, and the affixed furniture is dirty, rusty and unusable. There were recently storms at the lake, so the beach, too, was completely inaccessible. Because of the area of this cove, parents should consider that this area will likely always have a fair amount of debris and algae and is not the zero entry pebble beach described. The docks had several wasp nests with active wasps on the day we were there prior to leaving. This should also be a consideration for parents traveling with young kiddos. The cabin is cooled by a single AC unit located in the kitchen. The bedroom gets very warm if you shut the door overnight. The second “bedroom” appears to be a converted deck that also has no access to the AC and no curtains on the doors facing the property owner’s home for light blocking or privacy. My kiddos love bugs, so the exterior of the home was not of concern but, if you have kids scared of spiders, hornets, etc. they are all over the entry of the home. There were ants in the kitchen and in the bed in the bedroom. The cabin itself is odorous- a musty smell that may be difficult for some folks, as it was for us.
had good time
Cute little old cabin close to the water. Easy access to water for floating and swimming. Property manager was easy to communicate with and was very helpful.
We enjoyed our stay although we didn’t get to enjoy the property as much as we would’ve liked to due to our family reunion! Will stay again!
The property was a very cozy cabin with an amazing porch near the lake. We enjoyed our vacation away from home. Would love to stay again in the future!
We had a short getaway for the weekend and really enjoyed our stay. It was quiet and fun to have a swim area to ourselves for the kids. Hosts were very nice and accommodating.
The cottage was clean, however overall maintenance was poor. The deck had screws exposed that could cut feet and the driveway was nearly impassable with anything but a truck. The cottage is not on the water, as you have to walk approx 1/2 block to the water and then take your own inflatables as there is a charge to use the property's.
Nice little cottage.
Enjoyed the location, fire pit, grilling, private beach and dock. Would recommend for families with children.
