A cute place in a nice quiet area

We enjoyed our stay here. The house was well kept and equipped to easily cook meals. Our communication with the homeowner was amazing! She responded quickly and was more than willing to help when we needed to reschedule.

Interesting little place.

Like a lot of lake Murray homes are jammed in everywhere. This one had goats and chickens up the street a bit. The house was very clean. The hostess answered all my questions promptly. We brought our bass boat that is a single axle. I don’t believe you could maneuver a tandem trailer in the confines of the boat ramp and covering . One bed had a very squeaky bed. Bring your own ice. The ice maker wasn’t on. Overall though a nice little place.

Tess's cottage

Cottage was fine for adult fisherman. Quiet neighborhood. Plenty of parking for boats. Ramp was kind of hard to access. Wanted to watch football Game but didn't have local channels. Overall Good experience.

2 Day Fishing Tournament

Tessie provided a comfortable place to rest between fishing days. Her accommodation included a nice safe parking area for our boat. We came in late and left early the next morning, she worked well with us on our tight schedule.

Cute Cottage on the Lake

We enjoyed our stay very much. It was very quiet which is what we were going for. Communication with owner was prompt. Only complaint would be the bed was not comfortable and really needs to be replaced. It was very droopy. There are some animals as next door neighbors which was pleasantly surprising.

Charming

The only thing lacking in this secluded getaway cottage is a sign over the door to tell you that you've arrived. Hint: if you're looking at a goat, turn around! The host very prompt ly answered when I called. Loved it!
