Great property with a good location.

Property was great for us, as we were in town for a High School bass fishing tournament, that launch 3 minutes down the road at the dnr ramp on Townline.

Cottage feel

I grew up in cabins in Michigan so you can’t expect luxury , this place was nice and clean and the portable air conditioner and fans they provide, were sufficient . It was fairly cool out though. I can’t tell ya how it would keep up in really hot temps . The beds were comfortable the first bedroom bed my brother and his girlfriend occupied they kept hitting their shin on a pointy edge so my husband wrapped and duck taped a towel around it , the second bedroom you just have to remember there is a step down . I tripped a few times forgetting the step down was there . The house next to this on the left which looks like an abandoned building actually has people living there and is rather dumpy outside in the right of this place is a trailer that is fairly nice , but is another VRBO . They seemed to have wanted to join our firepit because i guess they didn’t have one . Very close to msin drag 55 which didn’t affect much i slept fine . Just not super cozy and secluded . Overall though it was a great place to stay for the money . Thanks Doug for responding to our texts in a very timely manner . I would stay here again .

Nice cabin

Nice place, clean and organized. 2 small issues. The heat register in the bathroom doorway is a toe killer! You could replace with a proper one designed to be on a floor and fit flush. Secondly the neighbor was burning his trash/plastic about 20 feet outside the front door the entire time we were there, I understand there isn't much you can do about it but I thought it should be mentioned.

Location was near the lake.. Accommodations were more than adequate. * Structure maintenance on the floor is probably in the near future. There are a few spots i was leary on stepping. A fairly large spot in the upper bedroom and a smaller one near the bathroom entrance,

Wonderful

Place was very clean. The charcoal grill was a nice addition. Weather was great a little chilly but coming from Alabama anything under 40° is cold. If we ever get back this way again it will be in June or July. Bueatiful area close to everything. The only thing missing was a bath mat for us more expienced folks who are as light on there feet.

Enjoyed my stay a lot. The house has everything we could think to want. Even a Slow cooker! Great communication from the owner. He worked with me through 2 changes in plans. We appreciated the dog tie out available, especially as the house is conveniently close to a major road. Definitely planning to come again
