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.

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.

Family getaway

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. It's the perfect little piece of paradise!

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!

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 Stay

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. The host was super nice and friendly. Hubby and I had a great time fishing. The slide was a nice touch for the kiddos.

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.

Easter weekend in Many

This property was wonderful! So many thoughtful touches throughout with almost anything you could need! Only downside was no access to a washer and dryer. I did note the last day that they had a nifty retractable clothesline in the hall bathroom so you can handwash clothing just wish I would have realized sooner! My family really enjoyed this property, and my children keep asking when we are going back to the Many house! We are looking forward to Memorial weekend at this property! Thank y'all!

Weekend with the Pros

Amanda has done a SPECTACULAR job updating this home. It is a spacious, comfortable, home away from home. It will easily and comfortably house all that it sleeps. It is a very clean home with comfortable beds. Easy access to the water in a quiet cove. Forget something ? Don't want to cook ? No worries, you aren't too far from those comforts either. You won't be disappointed. We will return.

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.

Perfect home for a family stay

Highly recommend this property. We were in the area for a yearly family reunion. We had six family members ages 4 to 82. The home was very clean and comfortable and easy for all ages to navigate the home and property. Property manager sent us easy to follow directions to get to and access the property with no issues. The home is right on the lake with a boat slip and a great area for fishing. My 4-year-old grandson especially enjoyed the slide which is just off the patio area. Kitchen was well organized and had well-kept utensils and cookware which made mealtimes easy and hassle-free. All of the beds including the bunkbeds were extremely comfortable to sleep on and had very nice linens and covers. Home was pet friendly with a place designated and furnished for feeding our fur family member. All of us had fun playing the wall mounted video game in the guest room. The area the home is located in was very quiet and peaceful and we felt safe at all times. My father-in-law has already requested I rent the same home for next year's family reunion, and I definitely will.
