Good or better than expected
Owners couldn’t have been nicer, more helpful. Live right next door and remained available but stayed out of our way. Place very clean, easy access to lake. I’d book again immediately if I ever go back to fish

The cottage was just what we needed to relax and enjoy family time. We enjoyed the nice front porch that overlooked the lake....very quiet. Owners were very accommodating.

A darling cottage, a breathtaking view of the lake and the very best southern hospitality.
CHARMED by this sweet little cottage. Appreciate all the fine details. The retro kitchen was the cutest! Spent most of our time on the porch overlooking the lake. Listening to so many song birds, watching turtles makes their way to and from the lake and squirels scurry about with wild abandon. Tom, Old Camp Joy's host, was the best! Superior communication! Jefferson, one of our favorite places to visit, was a little over a thirty minute drive. Recommend McGarity's Restaurant and Saloon for atmosphere and eats. We highly recommend this stay! I would grab a couple extra throws and some coffee before you come to maximize your enjoyment of the porch. Anna

Lakeview Cottage Vacation
Loved it. Lacking wifi and spotty phone reception was an advantage. Kids and adults were mostly unplugged for the duration of our stay. They were busy outside, just being kids, playing on the lake shore, having a horseshoe toss competition and generally goofing off. The view from the porch facing the lake was breathtaking especially at sunrise. If nothing else, it's worth the trip! Son and husband spent time trying to catch fish and even though they caught grass, clothing and random stuff, they loved it enough to want another trip to try for the bass our neighbors did catch. Cottage is clean, well-kept and cozy. The kitchenette is adequately stocked- comes with a well-seasoned cast-iron skillet. Knives are sharp. Hosts are gracious, welcoming and friendly. They were attentive and made the overall experience worth it. Thank you Tom and Kathy for having us and we'll be back in the summer hopefully. Try Mary's cinnamon rolls. They're delicious.

Beautiful Property
The property is beautiful. We could see the lake from our back porch. It was too cold and wet to use the paddle boats but the outdoors around us were just beautiful. If you love birds, they were everywhere !! It was very peaceful. The hosts Kathleen and Tom were very accommodating. Checked on us daily to make sure everything was ok and if we needed anything. They are the ultimate hosts ! You’ll love staying at the cottage !

Amazing property
I was bit surprised to find out it was media free. However, thats not the owners fault. I just missed it on the listing. Lol. Beautiful place. We had an amazing time. There is a strong possibility we could be back! My 8yr old son had a blast and couldnt stop talking about the canoe and tree swings ;)

Amazing views! Great stay!
This was the perfect little place to share a weekend with our friends. We didn’t get to enjoy the outdoor activities with our busy schedule, but definitely will be back here! You won’t be disappointed! Great spot! Great place!
