Seeing the doe and her 2 fawns down at the dam when we arrived was the perfect start to a wonderful stay. It was very comfortable and everything we needed and more was there. We booked this accomodation for its location during the total solar eclipse and it did not disappoint. 🌞🌘

We thoroughly enjoyed our stay! The property was perfect! Cabin is so welcoming and stocked with all amenities. View in the back is very nice. 2 decks out back that were so relaxing. We enjoyed the Canton First Monday Trade Days weekend. It's an easy drive from this property. Nice small town of Mineola nearby with shops and restaurants. Would stay again...we will be back!

The Hill
House is great and the views from the back porch or deck was awesome. Pond is beautiful too. Saw lots of birds and a couple of deer. The wild pigs squealing in the darkness, when you shine a flashlight their way, adrenalin rush:) Very secluded. Hiked all the trails. Property is well groomed in all the right places and wild on the rest.

2 Friends and I stayed for 3 nights to attend First Monday in Canton. This property is about 20 miles away, very easy drive. I would definitely recommend especially if you like to hang out at home in the evenings and maybe do some grilling. Awesome outdoor space. The 3 of us would definitely return.

The property was very clean and exactly as listed. The back deck was beautiful and the pond wasn’t too far a walk from the deck. There was a kayak and a John boat for use including life vests. It was a very peaceful and relaxing weekend. They also had Netflix, Disney+, and other streaming services.

Away from the busy city
We stayed at the property for a week. It was very nice. Super hot that week so it limited our outside activities but we managed. The porch is awesome. We weren’t prepared for the walk down to the pond but we managed as well. The pictures make it look closer to the house but no biggee. My 75 year old dad could only make it down once. We are just out of shape. 😂 The perfect time to go back would be spring or fall. Again, it was just too hot outside even at night. But the house was GREAT!!! A hot tub would make a nice addition. 😉

Do not sleep on this listing!
Me and my fiancé stayed here for our birthdays. When I say this place was so much more than we were expecting, it’s an understatement. The pictures really don’t do it justice, and it offers so much more that you can imagine. The fishing! If you love to fish, or even if you only like it when you’re catching something, this is the place for you! My hook barely hit the water and I was getting bites. We caught so many fish and different varieties, it was awesome! We went Fourth of July weekend, my birthday, we didn’t pop any fireworks of course, but in the distance, There was a clearing and we got to watch the show from the comfort of the back upper deck. Speaking of the back deck, it may have been my favorite thing about this house. We spent a lot of time here, despite the heat. They have 2 huge ceiling fans and it was very pleasant even in the 98deg weather. We are still baffled at how, but, No bugs! Literally came prepared with mosquito spray, and fly swatter in hand, and we didn’t even have to use them once. We figured being so close to the water they would be terrible, but somehow there weren’t any. They have a giant jenga game, we played that a lot. There is plenty of seating areas, large table and lounger, and the view is absolutely stunning! The sunsets, looking out over the lake was breathtaking. I am a big time cook, and the kitchen was stocked with everything I needed. We were mainly getting away to relax and enjoy our time together, but in the town, 6min. away, there were some neat little restaurants, we plan to try next time. They have trails cleared out all over the property, we plan to explore these when we return in cooler weather. The bed, was so comfy, I slept in each day we were there. So many great things about this listing, do not hesitate to chose this property if you’re wanting to get away and relax and feel like you’re away from it all and still be close by stores, ect, or if you’re looking for an outdoor adventure, this place has it all, guaranteed to have a wonderful time.
