We were looking for a place to relax and unwind, and this was the perfect spot. The host was in communication with me from the beginning with helpful hints and check in instructions. We will definitely be looking forward to our next trip.

Enjoyed our stay very much. Unfortunately it had rained a lot but our host made sure we could get in by putting a ramp up so we could access the property. Very clean and comfortable. We enjoyed sitting on the porch while watching the rain, birds and the water. Would definitely recommend.

Absolutely perfect!

The cabin was just perfect. Close enough to town but far enough away to enjoy the quiet. Capt Joe was very attentive to the walkway, as they had quite a bit of rain prior to our arrival and areas were flooded. Would highly recommend this property for anyone looking to be on water. to our atrival

This is such a cute spot to have a nice getaway! Very nice property and owner. A little further down the road the owners don’t seem to take as much pride in their property but this one is a GEM!

Heaven

Beautifully located and ideal for a break. The spot was immense on the lake. Fishing, kayaking all within seconds of waking up. At night all we could hear were the frogs and cicadas. Inside was spotlessly clean and everything pretty much you would need. No wifi but for us that meant we were forced to relax more. Satellite TV for the nighttime game was ideal and the comfiest couch and bed I’ve ever used. Capt Joe was there with a new chair when we discovered one was broken and responded straight away. A superb host who was great with his recommendations for places to eat etc. we will def be staying again if it’s available . Overall o can’t recommend enough.

My wife and I stayed in this cabin for four nights for our 25th wedding anniversary. Just as the VRBO title claims, this is truly an enchanting floating cabin that you will find to be just as the photos show. The cabin was very clean and well maintained. The host was very quick to respond to any communications. Thank you Captain Joe for your hospitality. My wife and I will definitely be back soon.

Relaxing weekend getaway

The floating apartment was beautifully decorated, fully furnished, and offered all the comforts of home. It was so nice to wake up and sit right on the water. A huge plus was being able to pull the boat right up to the door and leave it there instead of having to pull it out of the water after every use. Captain Joe was very accommodating with recommendations of restaurants, bait shops and any local attractions. I highly recommend this place and will be returning in the future.

Great little getaway

Really great views and access to the lake and river. Feels remote, but still was close to grocery stores if feeling the urge to stay in and not go anywhere! Very nice sunsets and kayaking around the lake was a nice experience. Host is very communicative but not overly so - just right!
