Great Country Lake House
My family had a great time at this cabin. It's just a short walk to Patoka Lake and close to numerous boat ramps. We loved how secluded it was, but not far from a store to get supplies you may need. Tim was a great host and very welcoming! We will be back again!!

Excellent place to get away
Tim (host) was very friendly and helpful, the nicest guy you will ever meet. The cabin was clean and had everything we needed for a relaxing stay. It was absolutely perfect for us and our dogs. Has everything you could possibly need. Peaceful, beautiful scenery. Wonderful screened in porch to sit on the rocking chairs for our morning coffee. Would re- visit and also recommend to others.

We celebrated our anniversary and received exactly what we were looking for here…..peace n quiet
The cabin was quiet, quaint and cozy. A short walk to the water with friendly residents. The cell signal was poor which was perfect for a quiet weekend. The house is about 40 minutes from anything…..so pack accordingly. Lovely weekend!

Very nice, quiet, clean property.
The owner Tim is great. Met us at the property to give us keys and show us around. This is a great place if you want to just get away and unplug. Bring dvds if you want, there is no cable or internet and cell phones are very spotty. If thats what you're looking for this is the place for you.

If your looking for a nice quiet getaway. This is the place.
We loved the cabin. The bed not so much. Basic TV and it cut in and out. Only could use our phones outside of the cabin. It was definitely a nice and clean place. And the owner is super nice and friendly.

We had a short 3 night stay but I was fabulous! The owner was very polite and welcoming. He also gave us our privacy. The cabin is stocked with pretty much everything you need except food and personables. This made packing so easy. Ver clean and comfortable. Would definitely recommend and stay again!
