Beautiful Cabin Great Stay

We had a great time at this lovely cabin. Property as described- clean and comfortable. Owner communication was pleasant. Lake access was great. WiFi- was nonexistent for me. My son's phone did pick it up a little bit. That said, I did have cell service. FYI for those that really need WiFi. If you need a place though to stay and enjoy Lake Murvaul this is a wonderful choice! We look forward to booking again!

Rest and Relaxation

We totally enjoyed our time at this lake house. It had everything we were looking for in a place to relax and get away from reality. Only negative we caught turtles instead of fish. The fish must of been cold from the cold front, hee hee.

Family time

The stay was amazing and the dock and cove area was perfect. No need to take a fishing boat because kayaks were available and the catfishing was one of the best spots on the lake.
