We are by far the best quality but we do provide a place to lay your head and relax at the lake. Please do not expect modern, high end things here. The bed even may be too firm for your liking...we can not possibly please everyone. You may be worried about the reviews you see but we have fixed nearly 99% of the issues people mentioned in the reviews. We strive to provide you with all the necessary things you would need during your stay. The home has a fully stocked kitchen, beach and bath towels, and linens. There is no washer & dryer so please try to be economically friendly and reuse the towels to avoid additional fees for extra laundry upon check out. We provide a coffee pot and the occasional mix-in. Please bring your own coffee to use! In the living room there is a stereo for use that offers surround sound throughout the cabin (pretty neat) For those hot and sweaty summer days, the rental has central a.c. AND the unit pumps! Works really well. The campground itself is not far from Effingham..only about 5-10 minutes depending on where you want to go. Larson's landing and Pinky's (the new restaurant/bar on Lake Sara) is right across the street. Very convenient for those who would want a night out but don't want to have to drive far. Bring your golf cart if you have one! The area is close to Cardinal golf course and having your own golf cart at the campground makes getting around really convenient. We no longer provide a kayak with the rental. Unfortunately, our paddles kept disappearing from the rental site so we are no longer having that option available to guests. I have provided all the information you will need during your stay! Please, PLEASE make sure to read everything that is included or how to get into the rental before contacting. Thank you!!

Within the campground you are also able to pitch a tent or two outside of the home, which is something you can NOT do around the rest of Lake Sara, so we think that is pretty cool. There is a charcoal grill outside for cooking out & also a little bonfire pit for nightly hangouts. We have made this rental at the campground available for year around rental capability.

Redbud trees line Lorton road and are being planted among our woods, bringing their vivid purple/pink flowers in Spring.
