Beautiful property on a beautiful lake. Very comfortable and roomy cottage with a nice covered porch just steps from the lake. Booked during the local watermelon festival with live music, activities, food and crafts. That was a fun experience for adults and kids in addition to the stunning lake. I definitely recommend.

Perfect Home Away from Home

Absolutely loved this home! Right on the water, fish from bank or bring boat and dock right by the house! Large windows to take in breath taking view or enjoy from large porch! Couldn’t have asked for a better stay! Everything you need available and then some! Definitely plan to return again!!!!

Yearly Fishing Trip

My family takes a yearly trip here to fish and we’ve always stayed at the State Park, as my family has grown, we need more space and bathrooms. This house was absolutely perfect. The boat house was a huge added and very convenient bonus. It was very clean with so many extras, all the cooking supplies, plenty paper towels, trash bags, ziploc bags and games for the family. We loved the location and will definitely be staying here again. Laurie was a fabulous Host.

Farmerville Fishing Tournament

1st experience with VRBO type rental. House was clean and furnished nicely. Was concerned about getting up and down the drive due to rain and driveway was not paved or gravel. Got through the mud and was able to get out when needed.Really enjoyed the back deck overlooking the lake. Small improvements to the house that would help would be: Lamps in the living room. Working icemaker in refrigerator Improve drivewayOverall, we had a good extended getaway weekend. Thought the overall cost was a little high due to fees and cleaning charges on top of nightly rate, but I suppose rates are set knowing that some don’t respect properties like we do.Laurie was great and we appreciate her allowing us to bring our two Brittany’s.

Very, very clean comfortable with everything you need for a comfortable stay. Property was well maintained. Give the owner a shoutout - she stayed in touch with us throughout our stay. Property is beautiful, very peaceful - great place to spend a a week, or two as my wife and I did. May well return next year. I would recommend without any hesitation.

Another Enjoyable Stay

A great little cabin with excellent views/access to the lake. Check-in and check-out instructions are clear and easy. A peaceful, quiet location which is a big plus for me as I come to the area for my work and sometimes need to sleep during the day after I work night shifts. Immaculately clean and exceptionally well stocked. The small, thoughtful touches such as board games and books are a plus. My wife and I have stayed here before but upon our return in December we were delighted to see Christmas decorations on the mantel and a small Christmas tree. What a nice, thoughtful touch for guests to enjoy while traveling during the holidays. Host has thought of everything you could possible need for a comfortable, enjoyable stay.

Lovely Place to Stay

Very clean and well maintained. Quiet, peaceful location conveniently located just minutes from town. Nice back porch to sit and enjoy the lakefront views, watch the waterfowl on the water and the squirrels playing in the back yard. Was amply stocked with everything you would ever need. Excellent communication from host. Very enjoyable stay.
