There is a private entrance... The host was very friendly! The only sink, However, was in the bathroom... We were there for a wedding a Half an hour away.. So we were only there to sleep. There is an amazing local bar a mile from there (The big Dummy bar).. I wish we would have had time to explore the lake. There is three dogs around that are so friendly... So definitely, can't wait to go back with my dog and husband and explore the lake! I was his first guest, and he was my first VRBO..
