Cabins are well thought out with everything a person needs for the stay. The screened in porches really are the best part of the cabin!! Great location and Pine Mountain lake is perfect for fishing/swimming with great biking trails. We have been coming for several years and Derek and Troy have been very accommodating and pleasant hosts! Look forward to returning next year!

Our stay was wonderful even with cold weather! The cabin was very cozy and the heat worked well. It was spotless and had everything we needed. We met the owners and they were friendly and extremely helpful towards us. Would definitely stay again!

The cabin was very clean. Although the manager was not onsite when we arrived access to our rented unit was easy. It was very quiet. Not a lot of counter space in bathroom and kitchen, but it wasn’t a problem and pretty simple to make do. I would have liked to see a fitted sheet to put over futon for sleeping…..I thought advertising was s bit misleading since cabins aren’t on water, but pretty close to it and the private dock is shared by everyone…it’s private to the resort, not the cabin which is what I thought.

Nice cabin. Could have used a few more dish towels and bath towels for a full week. Kitchen cooking area would have been better if there was better lighting above the stove. Otherwise, very nice!

We wanted nice and quiet, and that is what we got.

We wanted to find a last minute get away. This cabin was a nice basic place to stay and relax and use as a base to explore the area. The sand beach was very nice, we got in the water a few times. The screen porch was very pleasant. We enjoyed wild life in the area, especially a black squirrel who put on a show coming and going with walnuts. Saw lots of deer nearby.

Amazing view, total relaxation

This whole property is perfect! The cabin we stayed in had everything we needed including a grill and fire pit. The owner was there when we stayed there and he was very friendly and helpful. The view of the lake and the beautiful sunset was incredible! There is a small sand beach with lounge chairs that were perfect for relaxing in… i can’t wait go back!

Beautiful lake and no check in hassle

This cabin was a nice clean cabin. There were a few thing I was not fond of. Four bath towels for four for 3 days was not enough. We had to ask for hand towels and wash cloths and were brought just one of each. If that is what you usually provide that's fine but you should say so on your web site. The beds are very hard and bedrooms are so tiny there are no night stands or lamps. (My fault I should have noticed that in the pictures). The futon in the living room smalls like urine and is very uncomfortable. We were there for a family gathering and memorial service so did not use the lake or beach but it was clean and the lake is beautiful. The kitchen was very well stocked with everything we needed for cooking.

Nice little cabin on a good fishing lake.

The cabin was well kept, clean and stocked with almost everything you need. Just bring your clothes and some food and your set. The private dock was really nice and the people are very polite.
