Very small for 3 adults, 3 year old and infant. Yard needed a good weed whip and flower garden needed weeding.We had lake access however, I would not consider this a beach. A lot of seaweed. We went elsewhere to swim. It was clean, good communication w the host and easy to find.

The cabin was cozy, clean, quiet, and absolutely beautiful. The property owner was so accommodating and supportive. I gave 4 out of 5 stars for the check-in process, but not against the property owner or property itself. It appears to be a systematic failure on VRBO itself. I highly recommend.

Sweet spot
Quiet, sweet cabin to get a little time away to slow down. Swimming, kayaking, and relaxing on a bench swing near the water. Very comfortable beds/bedding and fully stocked kitchen. Really enjoyed the stay.
