Time away

This place is the perfect location with a large porch overlooking a lake. The view, including the wildlife, trees, etc., is a wonderful escape from all of the noise and busy pace of the city.

Ok.

The stay was ok for our family. Outside needs TLC. Example porch had chipped paint everywhere and stringed lanterns had lights burned out. Equipment was very used and weathered. Needed replacing. Road to property needed maintenance and properties around cabin were run down. Also turned on ancient heater in living room and bugs kept flying out. My fussy 65 year old mother was not comfortable. The rest of us thought it was OK.

Quiet Hideaway

We were pleased with the privacy, how you provided map of the lake and easy access to kayaks. The huge yard with lots of seating was a plus, I was able to watch grandson roam and explore. Chris had good communication and available by phone. The Bonus was the early check-in, this is a selling point. No waiting around when your family is ready to rest. Thank you Chris and we'll see you again.EARLY check-in was the BONUS

Landers Lakehouse

We had a great time!! Listing is 100% accurate! Clean and cozy! Beautiful location! Plenty of dock space for fishing and we loved that the cabin came with kayaks! My daughter fell in love with the chess set, now I have to find one just like it to purchase 😆 We would definitely book this cabin again in the future.

No itinerary relaxation

Comfy cottage. Secluded setting with very little activity on the lake. Close enough to towns if you want to go out for a meal or pickup a few things. Only left the cottage 3 times in a week long stay as kayaking, fishing, campfires, and porch-sitting were exactly what we all needed.

Great Lake House

We enjoyed our stay in the lake house. It was clean and the perfect amount of space for us and our two children. The lake was beautiful and we enjoyed fishing and kayaking. Host's were very responsive.

Nice lake house

We enjoyed our stay. The lake was very nice and peaceful. It was great having the kayaks available to use and enough for everyone in our family of 5. The house was small and a little older but was clean and cozy. We loved the porch and spent a lot of time there or kayaking. I personally could have used a little more cook wear in the kitchen, but we primarily cook rather than eating out. Overall we would stay here again if in the area.

Nice get away

The house is cute and had everything you needed. My only issue was the bedroom TV was very difficult to manage with having to deal with an app. It didn’t end up working so we really weren’t able to use it at all. Everything was great.

Weekend Getaway

We loved the place. Perfect size for 5 people. Beds and pillows were comfortable. Outside is amazing. The lake is so peaceful and beautiful. We loved the kayaks. They were easy to get in and out of the lake. You can see all the stars at night. We made a fire by the lake. We saw all kinds of animals. Lots of bunnies. The neighbor's dog visited and was so playful and friendly. We will definitely be back.

This was one of my favorite stays away from home. The place was full of rustic charm and hospitality while providing a beautiful scenery, a relaxing atmosphere, and fun and adventure right in your own front yard. A great little getaway, and yet close to many day trip adventures. This questionnaire may have only received 4/5 stars due to the questions asked, but my actual stay receives 5/5 stars… it was just what we needed!

Great for a small family.

The boys loved the dock. The husband enjoyed going out back to fish. The wife loved the beautiful view. Even though cabin was small, it worked well for the four of us. Wished there would’ve been a washer & dryer. But the local laundry mat was very nice!! Also wished there would have been extra towels to dry off from being in the lake. Overall, great, relaxing time!!

Quaint

Your cottage was lovely. We enjoyed kayaking and swimming and the quiet vibe of the area. If you are looking for quiet and relaxation- this is the spot for you. The hill is a little steep, so if you have physical limitations- this may be an issue for you. The lake bottom is rocky (kids wore crocs and were fine) and gets deep quick (could be an issue for little ones)- but over all, the lake was clean and quiet and so nice not having to deal with big motor boats. fantastic for a long weekend. the porch and the view were AMAZING!

Great peaceful rustic cabin

We enjoyed our stay. We spent most of our time on the porch looking at the lake and watching wildlife. It was very relaxing and peaceful. The cabin is old but overall has been well maintained. The gravel road getting to the cabin could be tricky for low profile cars. We had a truck and had no issues.
