Amazing Stay! Peace at the Lake

We stayed for a spring break weekend getaway, it was amazing, our host was beyond excellent, she was very communicative throughout our stay and left instructions for grills and recommendations for local restaurants. We Kayaked & fished right off the dock and caught 8 catfish. Thank you for memories that will stay with us

Short Vacay

My friend, boyfriend and I stayed here for 2 nights. We had a very nice, relaxing time. Went into Gun Barrel to eat dinner. My boyfriend fished and caught about 2 or 3 huge catfish. Would definitely come back!!! Cozy, clean home!

Perfect Getaway

This cozy cottage was clean and well maintained and decorated. Everything was thought of by the host and we had the best time. We truly felt right at home. The beds were comfortable. The back deck was wonderful. The lake was beautiful. I would recommend this to anyone. We will absolutely be back.

About the host

Hosted by Dawn S Garrett

Host profile image
My husband and I are new hosts, and are not currently living in the area, but come out from time-to-time, as we enjoy the lake with our family and want to share with others to experience the sereness of the lake when we cannot.

Why they chose this property

We love the peace and quiet of the neighborhood, nice for walks or bike rides.

What makes this property unique

What makes this property unique is the calmness of the canal, while having large cove water views from deck and yard.
