So thankful to have been able to stay here while traveling for work. Had trouble finding the house and they responded and answered my calls/texts immediately. 10/10

The Catch and Stay,

Nice peaceful area! Ponds and the view were amazing. Fishing was good. There is no phone reception so if you have trouble getting inside like we did you have to drive a few miles to get enough signal to reach the host. House needs better cleaning. Microwave was still dirty, floors were still dirty. Besides that the house is laid out perfect and kept up well. Would love to come back but it looks like the house is on the market. Thanks for having us!

Very peaceful setting. Sat out on the deck and listened to birds during the day and crickets at night, other than that, it was so quiet. Beautiful view and great sunsets behind the hills. We were with family out at Lake Bridgeport during the day and it was less than a 10 minute drive to get there and back. Definitely worth the hot shower and a clean bed every night!

Great place, spacious house with good amenities. Great deck area to soak up the peace and quiet and to do a little fishing. Good area to walk around in private

We had a great trip! The fishing was great. The weather was perfect, too. We spent a lot of time outdoors and on the patio. The house was spotless. Very well stocked, as we cooked most of our meals here. My kids enjoyed the game room upstairs. Overall, we thoroughly enjoyed our time!

We had a great time fishing, canoeing and hiking all around! Peaceful and quiet surroundings.

Cozy Cabin Retreat Our stay at this charming cabin in the woods was peaceful and refreshing! The location is perfect—secluded enough to enjoy nature, yet close enough to town for convenience. The cabin itself was clean, well-stocked, and had a cozy, rustic charm. We especially loved the outdoor fire pit and the wraparound porch—perfect for morning coffee while listening to the birds. The Wi-Fi was a bit spotty at times, which made it difficult to stay connected when needed. But honestly, if you’re looking to unplug and relax, this is the perfect spot! Would absolutely stay here again and highly recommend it to anyone looking for a quiet escape in nature.

What a beautiful place to spend a quiet getaway with family and friends. The house is clean and had plenty of amenities. We had to drive into town which is a quick 8 minutes to the store, gas station etc. The night sky was amazing here. It's so dark you could see every star. We will be back and enjoyed our visit!

The Catch and Stay,

Great place we enjoyed the space, the dogs loved the room to hang out outside. The privacy was awesome. Looking forward to next years stay. Going to be looking to reserve soon.

Lindsey R.

The Catch and Stay,

Where do I start?? We had an awesome time! Great stocked ponds and beautiful scenery! This place is perfect for a fishing get away or just for peace and relaxation. The house was clean and comfortable. There was plenty of room to stretch out and watch movies and a game room upstairs to play pool or just sit down with a board game and have fun. The kitchen was great! We grilled steaks for dinner and made a full breakfast every morning. The hosts are very responsive for any questions you may have about the property or the towns close by. A+ property and hosts! We will be back in the spring to fish more!
