Our stay was amazing. We were celebrating my wife’s birthday and Tammie went above and beyond to make it a special visit. We went between Christmas and new years and the Christmas decorations were awesome. We have a family of 5 and there was plenty of room for everyone, the boys absolutely loved the rooms on the third floor. The whole property had a very peaceful feel, we really enjoyed it and planned to come back again.

Lovely cottage on the lake

Loved watching the sun set across the lake while sitting on the comfortable dock each night. Enjoyed the gentle breeze across the water. Visiting the area in June from Texas, we marvelled at the lack of mosquitoes. Cottage was comfortably cooled by several window A/C units and ceiling fans. The cottage was cozy yet spacious enough for visiting. Comfortable beds and lovely decor. Recommend this as a very relaxing place to stay!

Charming Cottage!

This is such a charming, cozy little cottage! The space may be tight, but each room is furnished with an eye to comfort and the maximizing of space. Comfort and efficiency are in abundance! Both the exterior and interior are light and airy. You just walk in and smile because it’s so adorable! Attention, tall people and klutzes: Watch your head and watch your step, and enjoy the views!

Perfection

This was a wonderful experience! The owners supplied everything you could possibly need for a fantastic weekend. They also decorated the house for Christmas. Every room had a personal touch. When my teenage nieces arrived, they immediately said "Meme, this is incredible." We had such a nice, relaxing weekend, and we will certainly be back.

Lake cottage.

A-frame home on the lake, has paddle boats, kayaks and an area for a camp fire! My grandkids, my son and I had a blast. Big yard with other yard games available that kept the children occupied. They did not want to leave. My two granddaughters especially like the top floor which they took over and made it the “Girls Only Room”

Right when we pulled up and walked in I felt like I had walked into a Nicholas Sparks novel!!! The sun shone brightly through the extravagant windows, that looked out upon the magnificent view of the lake. The cottage filled the smell of coffee and bacon. I took my breakfast on the back deck. Even though it was going to be a hot day the breeze from the lake was refreshing. I looked up expecting to see the local boat builder come around the corner….. and then “Mom!!!!!“ Let’s go paddle boating, let’s go fishing, let’s go kayaking!” Shook me out of my daydream LOL!!! There was cornhole, there was volleyball, there was badminton. After dinner they wore us out with the board games too! This cottage and its host really did go above and beyond for a wonderful stay. So, whether you are looking for a romantic Nicholas Sparks type getaway, or a family fun filled vacation, this Cottage does not disappoint! We can not wait to come back for more memories!

Paradise

This property had every thing we desired. Very Clean - beds were very comfortable- had all the amenities, Co- located to the lake with a deck and Pavillion and very clean . We had acess to two boats. Two great coffee pots with all types of coffee. Tammie and brock thought of every thing. Two Grills, one for grilling and one for frying. Grass was cut neatly leading to the lake and a fire pit with wood just waiting on us to enjoy. Chocolates & mushroom for roasting. Words can not explain how impressed we were about this cottage. Towels were many and exceedingly clean with an outstanding smell I am writting just like I am feeling - totally excited. Quiet, peaceful and very secure . Superb location and price. I rate this Cottage and location all 5"s in every aspect. Unfortunately we had an emergency back home and we had to leave early - broke our hearts because every thing was perfect - the weather- the cottage and the lake. The Owner were so graceful and only charged us for the time we spent. They even gave us a military discount and that is a first for us. I will be returing as soon as possible to enjoy all this Cottage has to offer and enjoy. Strongly recommend this Cottage! .

Wonderful Relaxing Lake A-Frame

My wife and I were very happy to be the first vacationers to this listing. Miss Tammi worked very hard to make sure our stay was pleasant. The lake is very calm and great for kayaking and paddle-boarding. Great sea food a short drive away. The bed was extremely comfortable. We look forward to returning for another stay.

Loved it!

We loved our stay and were so sad to leave! The owner was a great communicator and left us gifts as we were celebrating a graduation and a birthday. We did a beach day and a couple New Orleans days. Sitting on the dock and watching my kids kayak was my favorite part, so very peaceful. Would love to stay again! :) everything we could have needed was provided. Very thankful for our time at the cottage on the lake!
