The lake house was perfect for a getaway. We loved being able to bring our fur babies with us too. The house was nice with plenty of room for everyone. The access to the water with the kayaks and dock made it even more fun. Highly recommend.

We had another wonderful stay at the Heart of Huxley Bay! We first saw out this particular cabin because it allowed pets and looked very clean. Though we didn’t bring our dog at this time, our children requested that we go back to this very location this year. Josh is always very helpful and welcoming. And, the cabin is always in tiptop shape with wonderful amenities included. We look forward to another stay here in the future.

I recently stayed at The Heart of Huxley Bay fishing lake house, and I have to say, it was a truly lovely experience. The house itself has that cozy cabin vibe, decorated with warmth and a touch of charm that immediately makes you feel at home. Each morning, sipping coffee on the porch while taking in the stunning views of the lake was a highlight. Fishing was, of course, a big part of our stay. The lake is teeming with fish, and it was such a joy to cast a line right from the dock. I caught several decent-sized catfish during our trip, which made for some great meals in the evenings. What I appreciated most was the peace and quiet of the location. It’s very serene, perfect for unwinding and escaping the hustle and bustle of daily life. The area around the lake house has some nice roads too, which we explored in the afternoons.The kitchen was well-equipped, making it easy to prepare meals, and there’s even a grill outside for those beautiful evenings by the lake. The hosts were incredibly friendly and ensured that everything we needed was at our fingertips.Overall, if you’re looking for a relaxing getaway filled with fishing and beautiful scenery, The Heart of Huxley Bay is definitely worth considering. I left feeling refreshed and already planning my next visit!

Even the rain couldn’t put a damper on a good time. The house is in a great location with a perfect view. We really enjoyed the pier and doing a little fishing. Very relaxing, very serene. The owner was very respondent to questions, nice and polite. Very accommodating. Make sure you take advantage of the provided kayaks and fishing equipment if you don’t have your own! Thanks for a fun stay!

Great Getaway

Property was comfortable and relaxing. So peaceful and quiet. Didn't want to leave!Outside patio had lots of big limbs on the porch. No dishtowels, stove was not very clean on top. Refrigerator could have been cleaner. Game room area was very dusty and dirty. These items were easy to overlook because the location and the rest was fantastic. We would definitely stay there again and tell friends about how great it was. Josh was great.! Kids enjoyed the swimming and kayaking.

Wonderful Weekend Getaway

We had a wonderful weekend in this beautiful cabin. The beds were comfortable. The firewood supply is a very nice touch. We really enjoyed the fire pit. Everything we needed was in the cabin. Plenty of entertainment provided for all ages (kayaks, fishing tackle, TV’s in every room, games). I definitely recommend this cabin for a getaway.
