We stayed at this lovely cabin while attending a family reunion in Camden. It was such a cute and comfortable place. The screened porch overlooking the lake was a big hit with everyone. Our local contact was very helpful and responsive. So, if you are looking for a relaxing place to stay in the Camden area, give this sweet cabin a try.

Great getaway

Shane was AMAZING!!! So responsive & quick and it was SO great having him host my VERY 1st VRBO rental. We truly felt like we were at home. Had everything we needed and then some. The kitchen was so well equipped, the bedrooms were very big and beds comfy, the living room off the kitchen offered enough space to relax, the sunroom was massive & the backyard screened in porch overlooking the lake was AMAZING!! All the windows at the back of the home viewed an ISLAND!! I am SO happy I found Shane & this rental. The rest of my family will be coming with me next year to this home. ABSOLUTELY LOVED IT!!!
