Lake getaway

One Oar Missing was the perfect place on the lake! I had friends and family come up to visit and stay at the cabin. I did a lot of cooking and the kitchen was well stocked with everything I needed, even the correct measuring cups. The porch was a true bonus!

Beautiful Cabin on the lake

This was the perfect location to get away and relax. From the fireplace and roasting marshmellows to feeding the ducks on the lake. We really enjoyed it here and plan to book again.

Beautiful Home with Great Location

Great use of space in this home. Marvelous kitchen, great for food prepping. Fishing was good. Dream screened porch with fireplace. Could use some decor updating, and more televisions.

Exactly as Pictured/Described

We found One Oar Missing to be quite comfortable and perfect for a microvacation for this couple and a long-time friend. As titled, One Oar is exactly as described and pictured - very comfortable and clean. Enjoyed the screened in porch to just relax, read and visit; the porch and indoor furniture were clean and comfortable. The split plan with master King on one side and two Queens with jack-jill bath gave plenty of privacy for us. The kitchen was well-equipped but do read the provided 'suggest you bring' info as there is only a convenience store nearby. While the breakfast bar was fine for meals, we would suggest a four-top table as the stools are not comfortable for everyone. Plus, there's not really a good place to play cards/dice games, etc. Easy direct rental process and communications leading up to and through our stay were very good.

Anniversary Vacation

This was my wife & I’s 2nd year in a row staying at this cabin for our anniversary. With it being only 30 minutes away, it’s the ideal place for us to fish and be on the water with our doggo. Kayaks and paddles were easily accessible and the screened in back porch was nice to enjoy the outside while it rained. Also, huge thanks to the host for making our trip experience extra special by accommodating me with a bottle of champagne & a dozen roses for my wife! DirectTV was fine for us, we brought Ipads and were able to use the wifi to stream netflix & youtube (blurry, but still watchable) Overall, amazing cabin. Will be returning!

Quiet, peaceful and beautiful cabin

My family of 4 very much enjoy this property. Exactly as advertised. Very clean which we loved. The cabin is big, with enough space to enjoy a good book, the fireplaces and just a quiet vacation. Somehow close to local adventures and the river was beautiful. Thank You! We will come back!

Very Relaxing quiet Clean

Had a nice stay. The umbrella was broken on the dock probably needs replaced. But we did enjoy our stay it was quiet and clean. Was well stocked. Only thing missing is a hot tub! The screen porch was very nice.

Hidden gem!

We absolutely loved the area, plenty of things to do and see. The home was really conveniently located to everything. Beds were very comfy, great water pressure, we were able to catch a few fish, even though the water was low. We enjoyed the house, but could use an additional television. The yellow heart pine in the main living area was beautiful. Massive fire places. We would definitely recommend this property.

One Oar Missing - beautiful five star stay

We had a wonderful stay at One Oar Missing. Incredibly clean place, as they always are with Delightful Retreats. Enjoyed fantastic fires, and the river ambiance! Really great time. The place is very well furnished, including comfortable beds. We always enjoy Historic Mentone! Holly took great care of us and as always was extremely responsive! This is definitely a house that we'd like to visit again!

Awesome trip

Loved this cabin! Plenty of room for everyone! The screened in porch/sunroom was so nice and we spent a lot of time there! Kayaks were fun. A bit too chilly for swimming due to unseasonably cooler weather. Great for sitting on the dock with our feet in the water! Cabin was very clean and well supplied. Beds and pillows very comfortable!

Peaceful

The house was very peaceful and quiet. The place was very clean. The beds were comfortable. The screened-in porch was very welcoming. We did take the kayaks out and was surprised that the lake didn't have much water traffic on it, which was very good for the beginners in our group.
