Stayed Aug 9, 2025Check in was simple, very easy to reach the owners, clear instructions. House was clean, very spacious and newly updated, tasteful decor. Well stocked kitchen, very comfy beds, game room at the house and across the road was so handy. There is tons to do for kids. The coffee bar and s’mores station is a really nice touch! Highly recommend!

Stayed Aug 4, 2025We chose the location because of the close access to the lake without steps. The check-in was easy just having the access code sent to you worked great. The kitchen had lots of plates and glasses, silverware and bowls, etc. If there is a specific spice you enjoy on your food bring it with you. The Blackstone grill came in handy when the power went out because of a storm. We were able to cook breakfast on it. The Host was very responsive to our messages and willing to help if we needed it. Improvements to the dock and have less weeds in the lake would be nice. Thank you very much.

Stayed Jul 21, 2025This beautiful home and property exceeded our expectations for our group of 12. They provided a variety of indoor and outdoor activities to ensure a wonderful experience, regardless of the weather. The well-stocked kitchen, comfortable furniture, lovely bedding, and indoor playrooms were all great amenities. Our children spent hours fishing from the dock and in the provided paddle boat, catching crappies and pan fish. The area offers plenty of shopping and restaurant options. The host responded promptly to any questions we had before and during our stay, making them truly exceptional.

Stayed Jul 17, 2025My family loved, loved, loved The Lodge at Cabin 8. The ball pit in kids game room was the youngest favorite while the patio and back yard was for adults. The separate out building game room came in handy as we had a brief rain one day; lots of fun games there. The beds were comfortable and spaces were super clean. Everything is so organized and we had lots of room to spread out inside the home. Kids caught fish off the dock which was great too. We will definitely be back.
