Convenient Access: Just a 2-minute drive to Cotton Port Marina (fuel/restaurant/ramp) and 20-25 minutes to the main Dayton Boat Ramp.

Unbeatable Views & Outdoor Living

Keith is a very responsive host, answering any questions I had very quickly. This is a beautiful home in a quiet area. It's very clean and had everything we needed for our stay. The bedrooms being split on multiple floors is great. I brought my boat and there is plenty of room for truck, trailer and other vehicles. The dock behind the house is fantastic. Easy access to boat ramp and back to the house by water. Beautiful boating. Truly peaceful. Thank you for your hospitality.

Great family getaway

Enjoyed the back boat dock the most. Peaceful in the mornings with sightings of rabbits, deer across the cove, fish jumping and the gar no one could seem to catch. Loved the downstairs TV room and enjoyed the space for karaoke. Very comfortable.

Perfect for a peaceful weekend

This was perfect for a quiet Mother’s Day weekend getaway. The house is located in a quiet cove and was very peaceful. There’s lots of sitting options to carry on conversations and build memories. We enjoyed the nice covered dock and even tried out the kayaks. Shortly after entering the water we discovered one of the kayaks was collecting water, that’s ok it made for one heck of a memory! This was a great location for grownups, I would worry about little kids with the spiral staircase. The property was clean and met our expectations. We appreciated the amenities. I would definitely book again when visiting the area.

Great week

This was a terrific place to spend the week with my kids for spring break. Luckily the water came up around the dock and we caught lots of brim which is what we went for was to fish. It was a cute house layout was a little odd with the living room on the bottom floor but we didn’t have much time for tv anyway. The place was very nice and clean and in a great location!

Our family had to change houses last minute due to cancellation of our other house. We were not disappointed with the change. House is very clean, property owner has wonderful communication with renters & the parking was big enough for both of our boats. Wonderful stay and highly recommend!

I really enjoyed the stay, we were kept very busy with wedding festivities that we didn't get to try out the amenities. We will book again. The house was nicely decorated, clean and lots of books and games to keep you occupied if the weather is not ideal for being outside.
