Gorgeous water views. Perfect weekend getaway.
My husband and I had the most amazing weekend here! The view from the house was so beautiful. We also brought our boat. The launch was a 3 minute drive away from the house. Launching the boat and keeping it at the house was easy and convenient. It is the perfect weekend getaway.

Relaxing Holiday Break
We enjoyed our stay the property was very clean, and the views were amazing. This was just what we needed following the busy holiday season. The property owner was very responsive when I messaged her and that was greatly appreciated.We look forward to staying there again during the summer to utilize the river access.

Nice fishing weekend
The hosts answered immediately, previous review stated not the place for you if you don't care for spiders, that's 100% true. For house cleaning fee, hoped for a little better housekeeping but overall, worth the trip and money.

Exactly as advertised
Perfect little A Frame for a weekend getaway. The host was extremely helpful and the view was amazing. We would definitely stay again! Some reviews mentioned that there was no where close to buy items you might have forgotten but I thought I noticed a little market a mile or two into town.

The view of Pickwick Lake is absolute perfection, especially sunrise. The rental was exactly as described. Clean. We had an issue checking in with the code box. I contacted the owner and she sent someone over immediately. We were in within 20 minutes. Very pleased with our stay! We will stay here again in the future.

Great views
Rented this for a couple nights on our anniversary trip down the Natchez Trace. What a super cute little cottage. Perfect for the two of us but there would have been room for the kids too. We wanted something quiet - and it was. Gorgeous sunrises and sunsets. A little sketch getting down that gravel drive on the motorcycle is my only thing negative that I can say. Would def recommend. Comfy bed, clean and the AC was crankin when we arrived after a long hot day on the bike.

Enjoyable
First off the owners are fantastic with communication. The property was awesome. If you hate spiders, then this isn't the place for you. I wasn't a fan of the steps coming back from the dock but that's only cause I'm chunky and lazy. Best get your groceries before arriving cause there is nothing around😂.

Waterloo cabin
This was our first experience with VRBO, and we were very pleased. The cabin was perfect for us two, and our small family gathering. The stairs to the water were a bit more than we expected, but there is a small deck halfway up perfect for a quick rest. The website gave us the wrong address initially, which set us back a bit, but with some prompt communication with the host, it was remedied and we were on our way. Definitely worth it!!

Heaven on Earth
We had the most wonderful and very special stay at the cabin. The hosts were extremely helpful before we arrived, they answered questions swiftly and gave great recommendations.
The view takes your breath away and I got up every morning to watch the sunrise and listen to the wildlife, it was very special and made leaving today very difficult.
The cabin is lovely and well kitted out, it had everything we needed.
I really could not recommend this place and the hosts enough, amazing, thank you.

Perfect lake cottage
We loved the cottage, it was perfect!
We loved watching the sunset and the moonlight at night was beautiful on the water.
The stairs leading down to the water was so nice the 2 different levels to enjoy!
We plan on coming back in the summertime.
Thank you to our hosts, they both were so kind!
