    I hosted family at Corky’s Cabin, a beautifully renovated home on the water. Such a great location to watch the boats go by and relax on the deck. The place is clean, uncluttered and has everything you need. I hope we can return for another visit.

    Corkys Cabin was a perfect spot for relaxing as well as checking out the area. It is easy access and beautifully updated. Jessica was easy to communicate with, too. We would definitely stay here again.

    My husband and I stayed here and we were NOT disappointed. We wished we could have stayed here longer! The beds were so comfy, I actually contacted Jessica and asked where she bought them from. The house (and view) were amazing! We are looking to go back and rent again with our grown kids. Thank You Jessica for sharing your property with us!
