About this property

Entire place

You'll have the entire home to yourself and will only share it with other guests in your party.

A home with plenty of shade and outdoor area to enjoy. Fish from the dock, play games on the screen porch, or BBQ at the picnic area. Plus there is a boat launch nearby. Kitchen is stocked with coffee to start your mornings off right. Plenty of room to eat or chat around the table. Three beds (king, 2 queen) to make very comfortable sleeping arrangements for six people. Check out the fish food -- fun for kids to take to the dock and watch the fish come over for a meal.

Very private, yet still close to the lovely sandy white beaches of South Walton County (approximately 20 minute drive). Or take a drive to visit the E.O.Wilson Biophilia Center, historic Eden Gardens State Park, or Alaqua Animal Refuge.

Fall get away

The property was beautiful, very relaxing, I brought my 90-year-old mother down to visit her family. And I could not have asked for a better place. She was able to enjoy her visit with them. Would definitely. Would definitely come back.

Pleasant place to watch the birds and clouds go by. Hurricane Debby brushed by just to the east and gave quite a show. I caught the biggest bass of my life off the dock (6 lbs.)!

Our Home Away From Home

We've stayed here on multiple occasions. This place is so quite and calm. You are located near a local cafe and a Dollar General Market. The beach is literally 30 minutes away and Morrison Springs is a 20 minute drive. Bring your fishing pole as Juniper Lake has Bass, Crappie, Catfish, and gar. The boys are kept occupied down at the dock. The hosts are top notch people that will keep you took care of.

Blessed to be back

This place is our haven. We have been here four, maybe five times? This is where my kids reset after a long school year, where we make memories and just enjoy quiet, solitude and family. It’s always just perfect. Beds are comfortable, my kids sleep amazing and mom and dad have quiet moments. The views are beautiful and the location on the lake is one of a kind. Everything you could need is here, and the owners have hearts of gold. We love this home and we’ll of course be back.

Family time

We stayed for 3 days with the goal to fish, have fun, and make memories before school started back. We caught and ate a mess of fish but they are definitely tricky bait ninjas. The boys swam in the lake daily also when they got hot from fishing.

We loved our stay. House was perfect size for the 5 of us. We had a few visitors (none overnight) since we were there for a funeral. The living/dining area was a perfect size and all our guests were well pleased with the amenities. We will definitely keep this place in mind when we need to return to the area.

Meeting great grandson

The cabin was wonderful. I had my grandson, his wife and baby over for breakfast on Saturday morning. Then we sat in the screened porch for a while. Very peaceful. The property is beautiful. I dropped water on the floor in the kitchen, i wiped it up with a paper towel and the paper towel was clean when i looked at it. Very clean through out the cabin. We will definitely rent this cabin next time we are in Defuniak Springs.

Perfect quiet getaway

I recently had the pleasure of staying at this lakeside cozy cabin with my family while we were in town visiting the in laws, and I must say it was an absolute delight! The cabin itself was charming and had all the necessary amenities for a comfortable stay. The lakeside location provided a serene atmosphere that allowed me to truly unwind and relax. The fishing dock was a wonderful addition, as it allowed my husband and kids to spend days enjoying the outdoors and trying their luck at catching some fish. The owners were incredibly friendly and accommodating, making sure that my stay was nothing short of perfect. I highly recommend this cozy cabin vacation rental to anyone looking for a peaceful and rejuvenating getaway. Can't wait to go back next time we are in town!

Cockroach infestation. Spying owners.

This property is infested with 3” long cockroaches. As other reviews state, the owners spy on you and give you no privacy. Owners refused to issue refund despite their poor management of the property.

Very comfortable stay

Close enough to town. Plenty of room to relax and enjoy the quiet calmness of the deck, screened in porch and walk to the water. Walmart delivery for forgotten items was spot on. Tannin’s restaurant easily accompanied 20 for dinner after my brother's memorial service. Service and food were wonderful. We would definitely stay again, if in the area.

Winter retreat

My 3 teens and I were 1 month snow birds in this lovely home. The internet was great for school. The host was quick to respond and let us borrow additional kitchen gadgets we needed for a longer stay. We enjoyed lounging on the dock and walking the neighborhood. We were close enough to explore the beaches and amazing hiking trails. We would choose to stay here again.

Cat Island

Peaceful, quite area, fenced yard, circle drive. hanging moss swaying in the trees. Boardwalk takes you right off the back deck to the lake behind. Sunrise -be sure and take your morning coffee down to the little boat dock, and come back again in the evening for spectacular sun set. Large screened area on the back deck right out from the kitchen. Wash dishes looking out with view of the lake. Bed is firm and slept very well. Showers are great. owners are quick to respond to inquiries. Decor and furniture updates make the space more cozy and welcoming than when we booked online. Cat Island is 4 minutes around the corner :)
