Getting on the Water
You have two great options right at your fingertips.
1. The Local Launch: Puckett Point
Just a 5-minute walk/1 minute drive from the house!
Directions: Take a right out of the driveway and head to the end of the road. A well-maintained concrete ramp and free, paved parking are available.
The Vibe: This is the perfect spot to launch your boat, kayak, or paddleboard. It’s also a great local "hidden gem" for a quick swim or an afternoon of fishing.
Note: This is a public "put in" point with no dock, so it's best for those who prefer a quick, natural entry to the water.
2. The Full-Service Spot: Hurricane Marina
A short 10 minute drive from the house.
Amenities: This is a premier marina on the lake. It's home to a great restaurant, a ship store for snacks and supplies, and full restroom facilities.
Rentals: If you didn't bring your own boat, this is where you can rent premium pontoons and water toys to make the most of your stay.
Pet policy
One dog up to 40 lbs is welcome with prior approval and a $100 pet fee. Two small dogs may be considered case by case if their combined weight does not exceed 60 lbs. Larger dogs require prior approval before booking. Dogs must be crated if left unattended. The pet fee does not cover damage or excessive cleaning.
Good to Know
• No parties, large gatherings, or unregistered guests; quiet hours 10 p.m.–8 a.m.
• Rural lake life means seasonal changes in weather, water levels, wildlife, insects, and utilities; these are outside our control.
• We strongly recommend travel insurance for weather, illness, or other unexpected events.
Guest access
Guests have access to the full home and outdoor living areas, including the wraparound deck, hot tub, grill, fire pit, and wooded yard. You’ll have full use of the kitchen, living spaces, both bedrooms, and both bathrooms. Entry is by smart lock for easy self-check-in. A few locked owner/storage areas and the garage are not accessible to guests.
Other things to note
Self-check-in is easy with smart lock entry.
The driveway accommodates standard vehicles and one small boat up to 16 feet.
The cabin is best suited for couples, families, and small groups looking for a quiet, relaxing stay. Parties and large gatherings are not permitted.
For safety and property monitoring, exterior security cameras are installed at the driveway, parking area, and exterior entry points only. There are no cameras inside the home or in private outdoor areas.
Because this is a rural lake-area property, weather, water levels, insects, wildlife, internet performance, and utility service can vary by season and are outside host control.
Please review the cancellation policy before booking. If weather, illness, travel delays, or trip interruption are a concern, we encourage guests to purchase travel insurance when available. Refunds are not provided for circumstances outside the host’s control unless required under Airbnb policy.
