Another Great Week

This was our third stay and best yet! The addition of the dock was just great. Our kids loved fishing off it, jumping off it and just sitting there dipping in their toes. It’s such a pleasure staying here and communicating with Jeanne was easy as ever. We had a wonderful week!

Wonderful Stay!

We had a wonderful week at Jeanne's home. The house had everything we needed and was very comfortable. All of the amenities made for an easy week (well-equipped kitchen, laundry, linens, AC and fans, gas grill). The lake was perfect for our kayaks and paddleboard, and the weather was the best we've had all summer!

Second visit!

My husband and I live in Virginia but have family on China lake. We needed a place to stay for a family get together and we have a large family. The cabin was convenient to other family as well as easy to get to. Great food store near to stock up on goodies for the week. The cabin is clean and roomy. We would recommend it to anyone. J&L

Perfect little house

We stayed here for a summer get-away. Proximity to the lake could not have been more amazing- we fully enjoyed the kayaks and paddle boat. The house was perfect for our needs, plenty of space, well stocked kitchen, great grill. Also being 4 minutes from Hannaford made shopping and cooking a breeze. We also enjoyed the local ice cream shop daily!
