Thank you for a wonderful few days to unplug!  The porch was the perfect spot for morning coffee and time spent with Jesus!  We enjoyed the lake and fishing was great!  Thank you of the bread, such a pleasant surprise.  We enjoyed just hanging out on the porch and caught up on our reading and relaxing!  Never got to see your white squirrel but maybe you can text us a picture!  (Which I did!)  

The cabin is beautiful and we enjoyed reading about our Native American friends.  Your cabin is a wonderful tribute to them!  Thank you!

 Thank you Elayne, for opening up your cabin to guests, for a place to disconnect from our electronics, for a place that enables us to slow down, turn off the alarms and relax on the porch.  I thoroughly enjoyed my 1st solo trip without an agenda, a plan, a to-do list.  Your peaceful plot of land is just perfect.  I wish I didn't have to leave, but I will look forward to my next stay.

PS. The bread made great sandwiches to eat on the porch!!  Thank you.

  We appreciated the solitude  of the woods.  We enjoyed the lake and the fishing.  The cabin was very comfortable and clean!

Thank you for sharing your place with others.  It's a place of respite and easily allows one to look around and exclaim, "Great is the Lord and greatly to be praised."

 Thank you Elayne for giving us the short notice opportunity to enjoy your cabin and lake.  The serenity was second to none.  We enjoyed the tranquility of the little cabin in the woods.  The fishing was stellar and red ear and blue gill seem to bite well.  We will tell our story of our little birthday getaway with a smile.  We wish you well and keep making that amazing bread.  It was great!

                                                                                            Till next time,

 Dear Elayne, thank you for sharing this rare place.  We had a great time fishing.  The bread was delightful.  We will be back to visit because we fell in love with the cabin and lake.  I caught 10 fish with just night crawlers!  As a family, we got time to put the phones down and hang out.  No call service in the cabin was great!

                                                                                        The Turner Family

Elayne, Thank you for a much needed, very relaxing week!  The fishing was amazing!  And the cabin was so sweet and cozy!  We will be back!!  Thanks again.

PS.  The bread was delish!!! 

                                                                                                

 We so enjoyed our time here at your lovely cabin.  It was much needed after a hectic vacation in a heavily populated area.  We enjoyed drinking coffee on the porch, watching the birds, the turkeys that sounded like a herd of elephants in the woods, the amazing scenery, the lake and the fishing fun.  We decided to do catch-and-release and caught several.  The fish are healthy and so lively!  We truly appreciated you coming to welcome us.  That was a nice touch!  The bread is amazing and we loved it - thank you!  We had grilled cheese on it and the herbs really came out so flavorfully.  I'm so glad when searching for somewhere I found this place!  Sincerely,

PS.  We caught 42 fish!  Had a great time!  The air freshener upstairs scared us the whole time!  Was so fun!

 Elayne, Thank you for your hospitality.  My brothers and I have greatly enjoyed our time here.  But more was being able to share it with my grandson.  Thank you again.  God bless you and yours.

My husband and I had a great time at the cabin.  We had several friends stop by for the day and they loved your place also.  We fished almost every day and one day when it was raining.  We caught lots of fish every time we went out.  Thank you for the bread.  It as delicious.  Thank you for sharing your stories with us.  Best of luck.

 We so enjoyed our stay at the cozy cabin!  The views of the lake were beautiful and we loved how the birds came out in the morning and the forest came alive at night!  Thank you for your hospitality and for sharing a piece of your paradise with us.  Lord be with you in the coming year!

 The cabin is an excellent place to stay.  Really enjoyed the privacy, very nice and peaceful.  Thank you for the bread.  It went really well with breakfast.  I really enjoyed the fishing.  It was very good.  I used night crawlers, caught some huge croppie, used plastic worms and caught some very nice bass.  Thank you for a very nice stay.

 Elayne - Thank you so much for providing the perfect space for a relaxing weekend away.  The fishing, fresh bread, and cozy cabin during the lightning storms were just what we needed.

 Elayne, Thank you so much for sharing your fabulous cabin with us!  We had such a quiet and peaceful time - which was just what we needed.  We greatly enjoyed meeting you and the wonderful bread you baked was an added bonus!  We loved the layout of the cabin, and sitting on the porch watching the leaves blow and the birds - especially the hummingbirds.  Thanks again for a wonderful stay - and we will be returning!

 Elayne, Thanks for allowing us to stay at your cabin.  Even though we didn't make it to the lake much, it was the quiet getaway my husband and I needed.  We loved watching the birds every morning and the lightning bug at night.  Thanks again.

 Elayne, Thank you for sharing your cabin with us!  From my little one catching his first fish, fires and smores, swinging on the porch telling stories, watching the little ones play in the creek and make rock towers, the big boys endless adventures fishing and relaxing in the boat, memories were made and many adventures had!  Thank you for not having wifi!  Although that was hard at first....It forced us to unplug and relax and enjoy nature and each other💖

 Elayne, we had a wonderful stay.  Marengo cave was great!  The peaceful mornings and break away from technology was a great and needed change!  The fishing........outstanding!  We caught 140 fish in 2 days!  65 in one evening!  We released all but 6 to fry them.  One big bass!!  Thank you for the bread and hospitality!  We left you some sunflower seeds from our farm to plant.  They are smaller with amazing colors!  Hope you enjoy!

PS  We used only red worms and wax worms to catch fish!

 We had wonderful two week break.  Very peaceful and relaxing.  The cottage is like a time capsule, transporting you back to a simpler time.  It has all the things you need but nothing to spoil the tranquility.  

We enjoyed sitting on the deck and watching the large variety of birds.  On warmer nights we were treated to a light show from the fireflies. 

We caught lots of fish, more than 50 a day on some days.  Biggest Bass was around 16", most of them around the 8" to 12" range.  Lots of bluegill too.  All were released.  Bass were mainly caught on crank lures around the edge. Bluegill mainly on worms.

 Wow!  What a beautiful cabin and surroundings.  Our stay was short, but we will be back.  Thank you Elayne, for your hospitality and the bread was wonderful.  It paired up with the chicken salad I made.  It was delicious.  I must mention that I love your art work.  What a treasure!

 Thanks so much for sharing your cabin and lake with us.  In spite of the weather, we enjoyed our stay and our grandson caught OVER 50 fish!!!

 Thank you so much Elayne.  We enjoyed the peaceful stay and my husband enjoyed trying to catch fish, but got too cold. (ha, ha).  Just want to thank you also for your homemade bread.  We will be back again.

 Enjoyed the peaceful stay and the good fishing!  Thanks so much for being a great host and the bread!

A great relaxing vacation.  Thank you again.

 Thank you for the beautiful well kept cabin...so clean and comfortable!!  You certainly excel at inn keeping!  

We enjoyed having the wonderful warm cabin to return to after our adventures in the area.  

The delicious bread made our breakfasts special and coffee on the porch was a treat, as the variety of birds joined us at the feeder. The turkeys were great to watch, too!!  The lake is lovely!

We hope to see you again the future.

 My husband and I came from N. Ky. to get away for our 2nd anniversary, (even tho we are "seniors").  Anyway, we really love this cabin and the seclusion, (no airplane noise!)

Joe loves to fish, (I don't), but he thought I had to catch one so he cast it out, handed it to me and right away a very large bluegill was landed.  No small feat, it was a heavy fighter!

He caught many fish and assures me he knows how to remove the hook without hurting the fish!

Thank you Elayne for giving us the opportunity to unplug and enjoy your woods, lake and cabin!

 Elayne, thank you again for a wonderful, relaxing vacation!  It was great bringing our daughter and son-in-law and introducing him to fishing.  We all had a peaceful, relaxing stay.  See you next time!  Stay healthy!

 We have enjoyed staying at your peaceful, cozy cabin.  Just what I need.  It was very relaxing.  Loved the hummingbirds.  I enjoyed the porch swing as well.  My husband enjoyed the fishing.  Thanks for your homemade bread.  It was delicious.

 Thank you, Elayne, for sharing your beautiful piece of property.  My girlfriend brought me here for my birthday to just get away for a little and also because I love bass fishing.  Everything about it was perfect.  No service, no wifi, just relaxing with my ole lady and catching tons of fish.  One morning I caught 10 bass in two hours; most of them were caught directly across from the dock on that opposite bank.  There's a ridge in the water and a lot of them seem to be hanging out on either side of it.  Most of our fish were caught using a Texas rig with either a blue or green crawler, tip for you other bass pros. Also the fish are beautiful and healthy!  Thanks again.

 We had a great, relaxing week!  Thank you very much, Elayne, for sharing your amazing property with others and for your hospitality in being a wonderful host!

This was our 3rd year spending time here and we loved every day.  We look forward to seeing you again next year!

 This was the first fishing trip my brothers and I have had with our father in 20 years!  We used to go fishing every weekend as kids.  So much fun!  Thank you for sharing this lovely cabin!

 Dear Elayne,  Me and my mom and dad had so much fun here and we hope to come back soon.  The boats were my favorite.  I have one suggestion, put a lock on the bathroom please (there is one!)  I loved fishing even though we didn't catch that much we still had an awesome time and we hope you have a wonderful day.
