White Bluff Cottage
Worked out well for us. It is a little difficult to find initially but owner answered right away and got us there. Kitchen could use a few more things like a bottle opener and can opener as well as a microwave safe plate or dish. Overall very nice and clean.

Nice Property Pet Friendly
The property itself is very nice. Everything is new. Loved the pet friendly and the fenced area for our dogs. Overall, we enjoyed the peace & quiet. It was worth the money we spent. On the flip side, there are a couple of things the owner needs to address. The "access" to the lake is not a safe path. I don't recommend anyone take this path, it is dangerous. There are no smoke or carbon monoxide detectors. There was a septic tank leaking gray water, which drained directly into the path we had to take to get to the fenced dog area. Just a couple of detractions to an otherwise lovely property.
