It was just the two of us for a week away to spend time on the water and disconnect and recharge. The cabin was tucked away in a lake neighborhood and off the main roads which was really nice. It was spotless and well maintained. It had everything we needed. The private dock was great since we brought our boat down and the boat ramp was only about five minutes away. There are lots of places to eat both on the water and on the main strip in Eufaula. We would definitely stay again. I can’t recommend this place enough! ##### Shane H.

It was great having a boat slip to dock our boat and fish off of in the evenings. Thanks for the heads up about tree stumps in the cove. We just took it slow and were just fine. It’s a good location on the lake and the neighborhood was quiet. The back deck was great and it was nice having a gas grill to use. We would definitely stay here again and would recommend to friends. ![](https://a.travel-assets.com/ugc/hotel-reviews/6c66039d-3a55-4c66-b793-8184a2717270-1757373437597.jpg?impolicy=resizecrop&rw=204&ra=fit&q=high) ![](https://a.travel-assets.com/ugc/hotel-reviews/e5d25395-1eee-4e41-bd04-d8b667519d19-1757373437989.jpg?impolicy=resizecrop&rw=204&ra=fit&q=high) ##### Jason L.
