Beautiful Place! Great for fishing, but not the best for swimming.
The house and accommodations were great. This is a fantastic place to relax and fish. The beds were comfortable, and there were plenty of linens and bathroom items. My only complaint is that this isn't a place to go swimming. The dock doesn't have a swim ladder, just a boat ladder that you have to wade through weeds to get to. I would also recommend bringing life jackets as the ones there were in a box with spider webs, and most were only the basic orange boxy kind. Enough to get you by on a kayak, though!

Great location, quiet cove!
House is located in a quiet cove. Not a single house on the other side of the cove. Very protected from wind and boat traffic. Hose was great. Open living room/kitchen area. Bedrooms are quite big. Master BR doesn't have any type of blinds/darkening shades to block the morning sunlight, so plan on getting up at sunrise. Dock could use another bumper, but no a big deal. Those are the only two, very minor "issues" we had, which really aren't issues at all. We'll definitely stay here again.

Ground
The inclination of the back yard to the pier is very steep. Too steep for people in their sixties. We left a day earlier because it was too hard on us.House was fine except for children’s handprints in the windows looking out over the deck.

Great Stay
Check in process was easy. Place was great. Lost power for an hour due to storms. We were not able to locate any light source but had some of our own sources. Something to think about if you are staying around the rainy season.

this is our most favorite place to stay on Caney Lake. The host Tammy is amazing! She has made sure we always had everything we needed, was very easy to get in contact with if anything came up, this property is very clean. Very quiet. We feel right at home every time we stay if you’re looking for an amazing place I recommend this 10 out of 10.

Exceptional Accommodations
My family and I stayed at this well equipped spacious property to attend my father’s home going. This is exactly what we needed, an oasis in the midst of our dessert storm. We had absolutely no issues, the host was always accessible and the views were breathtaking. Thanks for allowing us to experience a piece of heaven on earth.

Peaceful Retreat
Anchor's Away was a perfect fit for our family stay. We brought my elderly aunts and uncle for a Celebration of Life. The front car port and zero entry made is easy for my elderly guests to maneuver. Anchor's Away was very inviting, clean with light, refreshing decor, well stocked kitchen, new appliances, a beautiful back deck with lots of seating and covered area for us to gather out of the rain, that looked out onto the lake and dock. It was just as published on the VRBO site. The owners provided a wonderful guest book with lots of info and easy check out process. Prior to our stay, I had a few questions, emailed the manager and had an immediate response from Tammy. We highly recommend Anchor's Away if you plan to be in the area.

Wonderful lake getaway!
This property was so cozy and perfect for our little Easter break getaway! Our family of 5 (three teenagers) was perfectly at home. We sat on the porch and simply enjoyed the view, fished, and grilled on the propane grill. Everything was super clean and there were plenty of pots and pans for cooking. I highly recommend this lake house.

The Anchors Away lakehouse was very nice and spacious. We enjoyed our stay and would choose it again. One suggestion for a small upgrade: place a waste basket in the master bedroom and bath area, for convenience.

Tammy had the house ready for us and even though we had issues with our code to get in, it was handled quickly and did not affect our stay.
The house is well appointed with beautiful fixtures and views
I would definitely stay again. This was such an amazing place in a region we didn't know what to expect. Loved it very much.

We are three couples that have remained friends for years that try to meet together annually. This provided separate spaces for each and yet plenty of room to be together. The house for well stocked, immaculately clean, comfortable beds & bedding, and all appliances/grill worked with good instructions.
