We had a wonderful extended weekend celebrating the dads in our family! What a beautiful property with every thing needed for a great time at the lake! We didn’t want to leave and will definitely be booking again! The kitchen was well stocked with great cookwares which was a pleasant surprise from our usual VRBO experiences. The dock was also an added plus for us to rent a boat for few days. Recommend Macon Marine. Overall one of best vacations! Thank you!!

My husband and two teens had a great stay at this cute cottage. We were able to dock our pontoon boat right at the property and enjoyed the lake both days.
The cottage was extremely clean and well stocked.
This is in a little bit of a busy neighborhood, but the lake views and back yard provided a great "lakeside" feel.
We enjoyed Golf at the local course White Deer Country Club and the go-carts and mini golf were also fun. Lots of stuff to do in the area.
I would highly recommend this property.

Cottage was nice. Everything was clean. The dock held my boat nicely (Lund 18' Fishing Boat). Although the lake is shallow in that area.
