What travelers say
A snapshot of guest ratings and stories behind the stay.
“I only regret that I didn't take pictures! EXTREMELY cozy place to take the family! The Cabins are a one bed/kitchen and a living room with a TV and AC and a bathroom in the back. There is a large area for dancing or any type of recreation, a pond with fish for catch and release fishing, LOTS of shade, and lastly a store a few paces away for drinks or pretty much anything you may want or need. Lovely place to go to for relaxing.”
“We had breakfast at the little Cafe that's part of the store! If you're not a local or visiting a local then you might miss it! The mother/daughter duo are so sweet!!! And if you're not comfortable or would be offended by a baby on the hip of your server than you don't belong there!!! We think it's wonderful!!! Keep up the hospitality ladies!!!”
“I have been coming here for years. They have a small restaurant that is part of the store that is my go to when I am spending time at the lake by myself and need a good breakfast. Also, they have fuel as well as all of the other items you would find in a country store. They have always been very courteous and helpful. Thank you!”
“We really enjoyed our stay, These guys have tried hard to keep the integrity of the old cabins and it shows. It was simple good to just unplug. Cafe was the best service, food ECT. Nice quit place with a OLD time fill, NICE!!!!! If you Don"t know the history of the place please take the time and read up on it before you comet it might help with how to describe the place. We truly enjoyed our stay. thanks to the owners and there staff and BIG thumbs up. We will come back.”
