Great stay

The cabin was just what we needed for fishing at lake Kinkaid. Only 6 minutes from the boat launch. The beds were comfortable,kitchen well stocked, the bathroom and shower very nice. We thought it was perfect for 2 guy's fishing and not spending a boat load of money.

Perfect place to stay

Property was quiet and nice. Perfect for a place to stay for a hunting or fishing get away. Or even a little family as a place to sleep. As a family of 4 with a 4 year old and 1 year old it was perfect size. Country / outdoors setting and cheaper than most hotel rooms but about the same size. Will definitely be back.

Second stay

This was our second stay at this cabin. The location is great for our needs to be close to Kinkaid Lake. Easy access in and out of the property. The cabin is as described but could use a deep clean as the fall spiders were very noticeable, cobwebs all over the ceiling and bathroom needed cleaned as well. There are also two small leak spots with mold on the walls. We did stay 3 days and would recommend staying here again with a little upkeep for future travelers.

Relaxing and Quiet Trip

This is the 2nd. time we stayed there and it is worth the money. Clean Quiet. The one thing would help is to have a small Love seat to set on and a couple wood kitchen chairs. I would recommend it. So close to the Lake.

Perfect for glamping

A better description of the property would be "glamping". We weren't prepared for the rustic (perfect fishing or hunting lodge) accomodations.We were not able to stay there the last two nights. The rating for the property manager isn't a fair question. It didn't apply in this instance but it wouldn't take the review otherwise.

Great for the purpose

Great place for 3 or4 people to stay for fishing Kinkaid, very close to the lake and town. Small but adequate. Could use a larger TV and a small pot, there are several fry pans. Love the fire pit! The fish clean station is very conveniant but the hose was broken, we made it work.

Awesome She-shed

My wife called this her She-shed. It had everything we needed and was just 5 minutes from the boat launch. We were able to park our boat next to the building. Air conditioning worked great, large fridge area to cook and eat. Beds were ok, had a campfire at night, cows behind us and deer came by every night. May not be for everyone- but we loved it.
