Four friends looking for a place to stay near Kinkaid lake for a little fishing trip, and the place was perfect and the boat launch for Kinkaid lake is only 2 minutes away. The place had everything we wanted and needed. Very spacious and clean and the owner was very welcoming. We know exactly where we will be staying the next time we visit Kinkaid lake.

The place was tidy and very clean. Well stocked with towels, bathroom supplies,etc. Jeff was a nice man and he leaves the guests in peace! But available if you ever need anything. Thanks for a cool getaway near the Shawnee Ntl Forest!
