There is a rat.

They lady who checked us in was nice but she was trying a little to hard to scare us. It was a group of five 24 to 32 year olds. Phones work in some spots. Canoes come with the cabin. My biggest problem was the rat that lives in the sofa

great cabin

I was surprised to see this awesome cabin listed, but I’m happy it is :) We went here with family since many relatives were in town doing touristy stuff it was a great ‘base camp’ for everyone to stay at. It worked out well as some family members like the cabin experience and others were able to stay in tents near the cabin. There are lots of places to sleep (bunk beds, queen, etc). The lake is beautiful! We used the canoes that come with the cabin multiple times as well as trying our luck fishing on the dock. The yard has a picnic table and fire pit. It’s only about an hour from Orlando. Our family loved this cabin :)
