Avis Rustic-Chic Riverfront Home w/ Dock, Deck & Canoes

This rental home felt like a cozy get-away and a upscale hunting cabin and a tree house all rolled into one. If you want to connect with nature but still have air conditioning, this is your place.The property is surrounded by woods, the floors and ceilings are made of wood. If it's not wood, it's stone. The cabin overlooks a body of water that is so peaceful and calm you'll feel like you're in a zen garden. We took the canoes out several times and my kids loved that the most. The only challenge with this property is the steep driveway. Four-wheel drive would have been useful but not a deal breaker. We had some unforseen problems after a storm. The owner was quick to fix everything. We did not miss a beat. If your dream is to stay in a secluded cabin surrounded by woods on a lake, this is your place.

My husband and I went to this cabin for a weekend getaway and had a great time! The cabin itself was clean and cool, the bed was very comfortable, and the screened porch was FANTASTIC! Don't go expecting the wifi to do amazing things because you are a bit remote, but you won't miss it with the amazing view.

We were looking for something remote in the woods and this was perfect. Yes the driveway is steep but i had 4x4 which is a MUST. The house in great shape and well built.

We got there Friday night cooked up some steaks and mashed potatoes and stayed up talking all night and then went out on the boat Saturday and had a fun day

The cabin itself was great and the location was perfect. I really only have 3 complaints. 1. On one day of our trip people (I assume the owners) came to take out the pontoon boat which is onsite and that’s fine but my fiancé 5 minutes before had showering in the outside shower that they walked right by to get the boat. A heads up would have been nice especially since you are behind a locked gate with the assumption that you are alone. 2. The grills that are onsite are in poor condition and aren’t really usable. 3. There aren’t mattress protectors on the mattress and there are some serious stains on the mattresses and the pillows. Again, great cabin and great location though.

This is a well designed and well built lake cabin on a secluded lot that is great for a weekend stay for a few people. The outdoor areas of this house are very well done. My wife and I stayed here to celebrate our anniversary and we found ourselves repeatedly sitting on the side deck that overlooks the lake which provides very relaxing scenery. This house has no neighbors to the left, right, or behind it, and the lake is in front...so being bothered at this location is unlikely. You'll also be able to view many different forms of wildlife. My wife and I had a wild turkey fly on to the property and we had a front row view of it in it's natural habitat. The dock for this house is in great shape. There is lots of space to spread out and a ladder to get into and out of the water easily. Floats are provided, and they're nice. (a big plus). There is also canoes you can use for free and a pontoon boat you can use at an added cost. We opted to not use the pontoon boat this time around, but most likely will use it the next time we rent this cabin. The finishes and furnishings of this house are very new and upscale. 4G internet on your cell phone works ok. The house has wifi (albeit powered by Hughes net which will be pretty slow). This is a house you visit to enjoy the great outdoors and not for it's internet speed. **Areas where this place could improve upon** 4 wheel drive should be mandatory, or the owner should pave the last steep part of the driveway. 4 wheel drive is not mandatory to visit this property, but if you don't have it prepare to park your car far way - up a very steep hill. Note that this will make loading and unloading your vehicle more inconvenient than you were originally expecting. Also, when renting this house you will have no way to secure the residence when departing. This house does not come with a set of keys, and there is no keypad lock on any of the exterior doors. You can lock the house when you're inside of it, but not when leaving to run an errand or to go eat at one of the many recommended restaurants close by. Combine not being able to lock the house with not bringing a 4 wheel drive vehicle and you'll be loading/unloading your valuables into and out of your vehicle up and down a steep hill more frequently than you expected. Other than 4 wheel drive issue and not having the ability to lock the house this place is a great get-away spot that is secluded in nature. My wife and I plan on renting this place again.

Location is nice and quiet, peaceful. Cabin is nice and clean. Absolutely bring a 4x4 vehicle or plan on parking on top of the hill and walking down to the cabin. Recommend bringing your own toilet paper, paper towels, dishwasher soap, and toiletries.

A beautiful and secluded getaway right on the lake! Picture perfect. I would definitely stay here again.

Location and cabin are outstanding. Great design. this place is trimmed, furnished and finished better than most if not all we have stayed at VRBO or otherwise. with a few changes i would love to go back. 1. improved directions, maybe x-miles down yates lake road metal gate on right. 2. description, im pretty sure VRBO lists 4WD recommended but its absolutely necessary. arriving without a capable vehicle is goint to ruin someones trip. perhaps end in tragedy. 3. communication, only rental management company listed, had to call them for entry instructions. their email had different WIFI info than ones in cabin, 4. no window shade in bath with adjacent structure directly uphill. enough said. 5.BBQ pit is a rusted out joke, personally disapointed me. 6. odds and ends. No dishwasher tabs, fan remotes are a joke, crappy cookware, cable reception bad, saw a couple roaches inside. lots of cobwebs. 7. checkout time too late, no way in hell anyone could find this place after dark would be dangerous.

If you are looking for a stay off the beaten path, this is the place for you. Very cute cabin located steps from the river. 4 wheel drive is a MUST. The drive to the cabin is very steep. Perfect size for one couple. We enjoyed our stay!
