Hidden Gem!

Pictures don’t do this listing justice! We loved spending time on the back patio, listening to the birds and watching ducks and turtles floating along the water. We would definitely stay again!

Convenient, Peaceful Oasis

We were in town for a family event and the schedule was changing. The host went above and beyond to accommodate us. We let the kids have the upstairs and we slept peacefully on the foldout sofa downstairs. The location was near all we needed but it still felt secluded, private and peaceful. Coffee on the back deck, looking out over the river, was a true highlight. We hope to come back again!

Good place for fishing!

We enjoyed our stay at the house. The only thing was I did noticed that the place doesn’t get cleaned often when it comes to the kitchen and the coffee had mold in it so we didn’t use. Instead we boiled water for coffee. Overall, the place was very comfy and relaxing. We do plan on being back soon 😊 maybe for a longer trip

Property was nestled back in a secluded cove. It was very private and had everything we needed for our stay. I would highly recommend this place for anyone looking to just get away! Thank you for hosting us. We will be back

Parking area is super steep. Water pressure is horrible. Home was decently equipped with supplies. Was not cleaned the best. Beautiful views from the patio. Super quiet but not very far from anything. 2.5/5

Cozy Cottage

We were here to fish for a few days. This home gave us a covered boat slip with electric and direct access to lake. It was a very quiet area. The home decor reminds me very much of my home where I grew up which I did not mind. The home was clean with new carpet and flooring. The air conditioners worked well and you could adjust them for the rooms you were in. It had all the basic amenities that we needed. The only item that could be improved on would be the water pressure. For parking we launched the boat, then came back and backed the truck with empty boat trailer in the driveway. The driveway is steep so we placed blocks underneath the tires to make sure it didn’t roll downhill. There is an option to park vehicle with trailer on the shoulder at top of drive if not comfortable with driveway slope which is what we did prior to launching boat. Overall we had a good few days!!

Perfect get away. Boat shed was down the hill from the house. Easy access for fishing in Wilson Lake. The house felt like being at a family home. Peaceful and relaxing location. Would love to come back.
