I wanted to take my husband to a spot on Houston County Lake to Kayak as a Christmas gift. We are both so pleased with this choice. The property is clean, comfortable, and stocked SO WELL with everything you need for your stay. The boathouse is a plus with easy access to launch kayaks. AND...the owner is always available and willing to help in any way he can. The property is a little bit of a challenge to get to, however it is well worth the rather long drive down a dirt road. Hidden Pine Cottage is jewel!

The spot on the lake is serene and peaceful. The house is comfortable and is stocked with all you need to enjoy your stay. This VRBO is a home away from home, perfect for relaxing, fishing off the pier, kayaking, all around “down” time with family.
From the owner: "Susan, thanks for the great review! We are glad you and your family enjoyed your stay."
