Lovely cabin and location
Really nice property with fun games, hammock, kayak, fire ring (wood provided!). Spiral stairs and sloped rock path were a bit treacherous. Could use some additional kitchen utensils, like chef knife and metal spatula. Pontoon mentioned an ad not available.

Wonderful Retreat
Buttercup Hideaway offered so many options to relax and recreate. The surrounding trees created privacy for the big yard area. The house had a wonderful view of the lake and was stocked with various supplies and had many thoughtful touches. We cook as a family and the kitchen had the tools we needed to make our meals. The Weber grill was in good working condition (we often find grills in rentals do not work well). We would recommend staying at Buttercup Hideaway!

Good Property
We all enjoyed our stay. The floor plan is open and the view is nice. We were impressed with the fire pit, the seating options and the yard games. The games downstairs were also a hit. The bedrooms were comfortable and we appreciated the black out curtains. It might be a place we would enjoy again.

Fishing frenzy
We had a great time catching lots of fish from the dock and out on our boat. Plenty of room inside for our rainy Monday. Landscaping around the house could use some clean up and weeding.

Summer Vacation
This property was amazing for our summer vacation. The house was well stocked, the bedrooms were large with comfortable beds, there were multiple gathering areas for socializing and playing games, and the air conditioning was wonderful for a hot week. Outside we loved the swimming area and were able to fish right off the dock. The bonfire area was very nice and hammocks and swings were relaxing. The hosts were very accommodating. They provided many supplies that other rentals do not, which was appreciated. A great stay, highly recommend!

Great secluded getaway. Exceptionally furnished home with lake access. Beautiful property with lots of locations to sit and enjoy the lake, read a book, play yard games, fish, picnic or play in the lake. Very clean and spacious for large family gatherings. This was our 4th year staying and will definitely be renting again.

Amazing house
We had such a great time at your cabin! Our grandkids thought the spiral staircase was ā€œfunā€ but tough to go down with a dog. We just walked around to get him inside. Everything was just as it looked online. Had plenty of dishes for our group so the dishwasher was a lifesaver. Grandkids caught fish off the dock so that was a big deal for them. We rented pontoon for a day and just floated in lake with grandkids jumping off pontoon and floating around. We would definitely love to come back again!! Thanks for a great family week!!

The house worked great for our group. It was clean and well stocked. Joe was very helpful and responsive during our stay. The lake is small and not very busy which was great for us. The only disappointment was that the lake was green and full of seaweed by the dock, so we weren't able to swim at the shore. But we were able to rent a pontoon so that we could go to middle of the lake and swim off the boat. Overall, the stay was very good I would recommend this cabin.

Amazing getaway!!!
We went to this cabin with another family and it was perfect for us two families! The downstairs was the biggest hit for the kids which included a foose ball table, a PAC man arcade game, many board games, and some outside games! The cabin is also very stocked up. It has so many towels, blankets, pillows, ect. We never got cold in the night even though we slept downstairs. The fishing was also excellent. We think we caught 80 fish in totally just off the dock! The only thing that just didn't work for our family was that water wasn't the best for swimming. Other than that, our stay was out of this world and you should definitely visit this cabin.

We had a wonderful time at this property, it was a beautiful setting with lots of woods surrounding the property. The house was set up perfectly for our family and lots of space and the yard was wonderful. We rented the pontoon and enjoyed that immensely. The house has everything you need and games galore that we used on a couple of rainy days. Thank you for letting us share your property!

This was our 3rd trip to Buttercup! Always great! Owner was great getting back to us when we sent a message. Property is super private and its so quiet and peaceful. Plenty of beds, rooms, towels..you name it!! Kids loved fishing and our dogs were able to swim. It was so nice to be able to bring our dogs, especially since this was probably the last visit for our one senior dog. He was able to play ball in the water and was in heaven. Thank you for sharing your cabin with us!
