Weekend getaway
My husband and i along with another couple rented the cabins for a weekend get away. It was everything it said it was going to be. We fished ( i caught 30 plus fish in 24 hrs. It was awesome) used the yayaks and boat. And We enjoyed the fire pit area both nights.

Girls weekend
Had a great girls weekend stay at Countryside Cabins. Coffee on the deck, brunch and shopping in nearby towns, afternoon kayaking and swimming and finished off a perfect day with a bonfire in the gazebo. Will definitely be back!

Third year in a row.
Third year and still loving it. Love the new docks. Made it nice so my mom can enjoy hers when the kids were “to much” kids really loved the kayaks this year. Very happy to see the dog again. Only thing that might be nice to see a change to, the hill. Sometimes it is hard to get up. Can’t wait till next year

Great location for a quiet get away. We enjoyed sunrise and sun sets out on the porch. The fire pit down at the gazebo was a great way to end every night. We did kayak but didn't fish, it looks like you could catch some fish anytime you want. There are short drives to some small towns in the area for a good day trip.

Unsafe and very disappointing
we departed our cabin on the afternoon of April 29, one day before we intended because our experience from arrival late on April 28 through the morning of April 29 was very unpleasant and disappointing. Our intentions were to experience comfort, safety, and convenience in a cabin at a pleasing and beautiful venue. Unfortunately, our expectations were not met satisfactorily. Here is our reasoning for departing one day early and our overall dissatisfaction: 1. We were surprised to discover that the shower was unenclosed in a separate building; that should have been revealed in a better description of the cabin’s amenities to allow us to prepare accordingly. 2. We became suspect of the quality and safety of the electrical system in the cabin after observing one light fixture dangling by its wires in the main room, an uncovered light receptacle in the bedroom, the lights dimmed when running hot water in the bathroom and a warning not to run the AC and microwave at the same time. We avoided using the electric heater because of concern for our safety, thus it was too cool in the cabin for our comfort. 3. The dead bolt does not function (the bolt cannot be extended into the door jam when the door is shut) and the key that operates the dead bolt does not unlock the doorknob. Hence, we could not lock the cabin after we left for the day so we had to take many personal belongings with us r that day to prevent possible theft. Had we locked the doorknob from the inside upon leaving, we could not have reentered. 4. The surroundings are very unsightly. We observed piles of wood scraps, kayaks and other water equipment scattered about haphazardly, a discarded “Consolidated Nutrition” sign and several miscellaneous items slung beside the shower facility, junked vehicles, and a large area adjacent the dam that looked like it had been a strip mined and not reclaimed. 5. There is no end cap on the gutter over the steps into the cabin, hence gutter water hit us while entering and exiting the cabin. 6. The cabin bathroom door cannot be shut properly to ensure privacy. We have other concerns about the cabin/property, but I have decided to list only these top six. We are providing you these details in the hope that you can remedy at least some of these issues before other people reserve your cabin; other issues are more long-term endeavors. This cabin has great potential. Today, I received a message from

Absolutely beautiful!
My husband and I brought our kids, 4, 9, & 13. We all had a blast! Even though we brought all of our stuff, they had everything you would ever need for fun! The pond is so clear and perfect for fishing and swimming. Don't let the cabin size be deceiving...you won't spend much time inside. The gazebo is so fun and beautiful! We finally have found our home away from home. We can't wait to go back!!!
