The cabin is as advertised. It was very clean. Had plenty of room for everyone. The front screened in porch is a great for relaxing and enjoying the hot tub. You can see the lake from the front porch. The mattresses are new. They are a little too firm for my preferences, but that’s a personal preference and nothing against the host or house. WiFi and data aren’t great, but then why do you need internet when you’re at the lake.
Needed a base camp for 24 hrs while on the lake for a photo shoot. Gator Den was perfect for our needs! The host allowed us to drop our bags a bit early and plug in a crock pot to get dinner rolling. The property was tiddy inside and out. Newer clean appliances and comfortable beds and couches. Showers hot and good pressure. It is within walking distance of the lake and had ample space to bark a boat or two overnight. Thank you April!

Gator Den
We saw mouse droppings in the cabinet above the stove. Every dish we tried to use was dirty, had to be washed to use. Bugs were in the kids beds. They had to sleep on the couch. And they said they colud hear mice, making noises. They guy that runs the boat ramp was very nosey. Demanding we pay 3 dollars to fish. We didnt see anywhere it said we needed to pay. No big deal. Other than that, the stay was ok.
The owner was a pleasure to work with. She made our trip a breeze to stay with and help set up our trip for success. The house was very nice and clean. The proximity to the boat ramp made getting on and off the water in a snap. If you like to fish this is the place to stay. Our group had a great time.
