We had a lovely stay. The porch over looking the river was my favorite place to sit. If you are looking for a place to stay when you are participating in the White Lake Triathlons, it is about a 20-30 minute easy drive. We thought it was a perfect place to stay.

We absolutely loved staying here. It was relaxing and exciting all in one. We kayaked on the river, relaxed and hung out under the cabin and on the dock, and fished. My favorite part about this rental was the outdoor shower. Overall, this was one of our favorite places that we’ve been, and we plan to come back next year.

We absolutely loved staying here! Dale was super helpful throughout our stay. The Cape Fear River flooded the day of our trip, which caused a little snag in our fishing experience. Even with the flooding it was great being at the property. We are definitely planning to return in the near future.

We had a great time. We didnt swim due to current and doing other things. Short distance to white lake. Porch area and outside sitting was perfect. Overall I would stay again.

This is me and my hubby’s and our two dogs new favorite spot to vacation at for 2024. It’s clean and well equipped… felt like home… it’s was a lot of space for us but much needed space and peace for us all! Next time I’d love to enjoy all the lake house has to offer including the bunk house and invite family! I’d come out here once a month over the course of the year just for the clarity of nature. My new home away from home!

I personally 10 out 10 recommend this little cozy cabin! This would be me and my boyfriend 3rd time coming here and we enjoy it everytime it’s definitely peaceful great view! We are definitely making this a twice a year type of trip 😌 only complaint I have is that I wish there was a bathroom downstairs other than that this place is amazing!
