This place is much nicer than the photos. It’s well appointed with lots of supplies—spices, toilet paper, even fishing rods. It’s very comfortable and the lake is beautiful. I only had one issue which is that the thermostat is locked at 75; you can temporarily lower the AC, but then it’ll bounce back to 75. This type of house is not terribly well insulated. Even in February that can be a bit too warm; I would hesitate to rent this place in the summer because of this issue. I would rather have paid more for the rental and been allowed a cooler AC. However, this was a minor issue for an otherwise great rental.

Wonderful home and everything was so wonderful. Well stocked, within delibe3ry for Walmart so we just got there and had groceries delivered. Only issue was i forgot to get pancake syrup. Definitely not the properties fault! Kods loved the kayaks and peddle boats. It was so cold we had to bump up the heat. I bet it is a very lovely home in the summer as well. We streamed tv, played many games at the location, and i loved cooking in the kitchen. Very relaxing place to stay!

Everything was thought of in this wonderful cottage/cabin. Impecable cleanliness and top of the line amenities. Kayaks and Paddle boats were used each day and although not a single fish was caught, a great time was had by all. Will definitely be back!

Todo estuvo estupendo nos encantó el lugar y todo lo que se necesita para pasar unas estupendas vacaciones con la familia, lo recomendamos 100%. Es un lugar estupendo para divertirse y poner una buena fogata y conectar con la naturaleza, que muchas veces por vivir en la ciudad nos olvidamos de la creación de Jehová.

Everything was fantastic! This VRBO had more pots and pans, kitchen, utensils, and a full spice rack, which I have never seen before in a rental.The deck and lake are picturesque. It wasn’t quite cool enough for a fire, but the fire pit is perfectly situated beneath the stars.All in all five stars aren’t enough to give this property! I can’t wait to go back.

Bluegill Cottage was amazing. We went here for a quiet relaxing weekend and that is just what we got. From s'mores around the fire to jumping into the lake. Lots of great memories were made here. And the lake house was the perfect size for our group of six. Tuan was also an amazing host! It was taking a little longer than usual to cool off the house and since he couldn't get anyone to come check the air conditioner that day, he did not hesitate to come over & make sure it was running properly. We will definitely be going back!

Awesome getaway!

Absolutely enjoyed the weekend, even with a little rain. Will be booking this place several times a year! The house is extremely well kept and comfortable. Had a great time playing darts on the back porch. The fire pit area was amazing in the evening. Enjoyed taking the kayaks out with my son to go fishing. Highly recommend to anyone thinking about staying!

This peaceful lake side property was clean, thoughtfully stocked and a wonderful place to relax for the weekend. We enjoyed coffee on the dock listening to birds each morning, and kayaking in the afternoon. And spent our evenings around the large fire pit.
