Our stay was just *okay*

Nothing about this property real blew us away. I think your impression of it is clouded by it being located almost literally in a junk yard, and the outside of the property itself is not as tidy as the pictures lead you to think it is. There are piles of random junk outside and around the patio area. That being said, the inside is better. It's a homey feel, almost like you're at a relative's house. Everything we needed and more was provided. The home could use some cosmetic love, but was overall lovely. I would consider staying at this property again, but would pass it up easily for something more tidy.

Unfortunately the wind was too strong to get to the dock from the launch but looked perfect for most normal operations. 30mph winds!

Weekend getaway

Awesome place and will definitely book again. Very pet friendly and hosts quickly responded to every message. This is what a lake house should be. One suggestion is, if it’s cold bring plenty of firewood. We brought a little but because it was in the 20’s we could have used more lol.

Family trip

Grandparents, adult kids, and 3 granddaughters with 2 dogs, we had the most relaxing time!! Everything we needed was onsite plus more- lots of games, fishing worms, firewood, fully stocked. We enjoyed the fire pit and a lot of time at the pier fishing- caught several. Plenty of room in the house, we had 7. My dogs loved the dog food/water area, toys, kennel, we didn’t even unpack everything we packed. Best time!!

Comfy and cozy

Looking for a quiet place to spend with family or friends, then this is the place to stay. Two full baths, two bedrooms, fully equipped kitchen open to living room and dining room. There is a Dollar General about 5 minutes away in case you forget something. There is a boat slip, but if you don’t have a boat, no worries just fish off the bank. The host is great and easy to reach if needed. Looking forward to our next trip!

A 4th of July to remember!

Little Minnow is the perfect place to stay! We had six adults, three teenagers, two toddlers, and a pup. We all slept comfortably and had plenty of room to relax and play inside and out! It is clear that the owners of this property love their lake house and have made a perfect and accommodating oasis for others to experience a glimpse of what “Lake Life” has to offer. We can’t wait to back and make more memories!

We absolutely loved this gem of a property. Super clean, cute, and a perfect location on the bay. This property has everything that you could ever need and the host was amazing. Extra stars for having ice on the property that can be purchased if needed.

Weekend with grandkids

Little Minnow was a great place to stay, it was very clean and roomy. We brought 4 boys ages 6,7,11 and 12 and they had a blast. They were able to get a 10 ft flat with a trolling motor in and out of the water by them selves to fish, supervised of course, and when they were not in the boat it was a great area for them to swim. We loved the fire pit outside and the house was so welcoming and fully stocked with everything you can imagine. We brought our small dog, even she had fun, I think she was sad to leave. If you need food, groceries, bait, no problem, they have a DG like less than 10 min. away and a Market basket and bait is about 20 minutes away. My husband even brought them to the water park one afternoon and that was only 30 min away. We had a great time, thank you so much for sharing your camp.

This stay was overall one of my family's favorites! The house was cozy and so so cute. Perfect for my family of 5, including three young children! Having everything I needed to cook/clean as normal and be able to relax and sit on the back porch and watch the kids play. The location is perfect for any outings desired.

Excellent Getaway!

The property itself is a great little getaway spot, right on the lake, with a boathouse, firepit, grill, fish fryer, and plenty of space to fish. Caught some decent size catfish while we were there. The home is very comfortable with wonderful lake front decor! Everything you could ask for in a weekend getaway! The owners answered all questions and were extremely friendly. I HIGHLY recommend this property to everyone, we will definitely be back!

Great lake house. Outstanding host. Great fishing. Had a great time. Great!! That's just good fun. Kids loved the video game and we watched like half of the movies. The 6 beds were awesome.

This is our second time to stay at this fabulous location. It was as immaculate as the first time. We felt just as comfortable and felt like we were home. It's the little thoughtful items that are provided that create such a homey comfortable feeling. Thank you Brian and Amanda for providing such a comfortable, warm, welcoming hime away from home. We will be back.
