What guests think
YOUR OWN PRIVATE 12 ACRE LAKE, 80 ACRES, HOT TUB & GAME BARN delivers a quiet, secluded family retreat with a scenic private lake and plenty of space, drawing repeat visits from groups seeking relaxed, multigenerational time together in nature.
Guests praise the beautiful grounds, wide range of outdoor activities (kayaks, paddleboards, canoe, fishing, fire pits), and optional game barn, plus responsive host communication. Recurring drawbacks include ticks and seasonal bugs, occasional maintenance issues (e.g., hot tub outages, appliance quirks, small or broken fridges, grill starter), and a few cleanliness lapses or strict policies. Expect a spacious, activity-filled, nature-forward stay best suited to those who value privacy and the outdoors.

We had a wonderful time at the lake house! We had 3 generations and it was perfect. The rental was clean and well stocked. We spent 3 nights and the old folks had as much fun as the young ones. Lake house has enough room to spread out and have a little privacy if needed. Our time was spent enjoying the lake. Daytime water activities with the paddleboards and kayaks and canoe. Just bouncing around in the water with the littles in their lifejackets. We fished ALOT and had the best time catching blue gill, bass, and catfish. Bring bait! We didnt see a paddleboat anywhere so it may he out of commision? The game barn was nice but we spent our time at the water. Kitchen has everything imaginable . Only downside was serving spoons are running low and oven temp seemed way off . Easy fixes. Overall this place is a 5 especially for the fun and family atmosphere it provides. Highly recommend. We will be back!

We had another wonderful trip to the One in a Million Lakehouse. New stove, dishwasher and microwave this trip, which made cooking a breeze. As always, had a great time on the lake, kayaking and canoeing. Saw several deer and had a lovely, relaxing time. Thanks, again!

We had such a wonderful time. We were a little worried because we came on spring break and it happened to be between 15-35 degrees most of the time, but even with the cold weather it was perfect! There were trails to walk and even my 2 year old was able to walk them with us, the hot tub was a huge hit of course, the kids enjoyed the beach area and the game barn, and the adults enjoyed the inside and outside fireplaces. We would definitely recommend this to others!

Our group was three couples with three children, toddler to school-age, and we had an amazing long weekend at the one in a million lakehouse! Unfortunately, the hot tub wasn't working (had just broken before our visit), but our favorite spot was out on the lake. It was awesome to be able to have almost our whole group out on the lake at once, with the various kayaks, canoe and paddle boards. Playground was nice, but ticks kept us away a bit. Game barn was also a lot of fun, and would have been great if we'd had any rain. We did a lot of cooking in the nice, big kitchen and charcoal grill (NOTE: the gas grill needs a new starter, wasn't working). We plan to be back next summer, thank you so much!! Great communication with owner. Once we arrived, we never left.

The property is gorgeous. We had a great time walking around and taking in the views. It was very thorny, so dress appropriately. Our stay was in November so ticks weren’t much of an issue, but in warmer months expect the ticks to be pretty bad. The owner says to bring bug spray and they mean it! We spent a very chilly and rainy day in the game barn, which was great and thankfully heated! The pool table adds some special challenges to a friendly game, but don’t expect a well balanced slate table. We had a lot of fun with it regardless. Because it was cold we didn’t get to use the boats, but they had plenty and the lake is beautiful. Beds were cozy and the house was perfect for our crew of 6 adults. Would love to go back in the summer with the kids.

Our family weekend get away was "THE BEST"!!! Spent all our time relaxing, fishing, kayaking, paddle boarding. Little Nashville only 20 minutes away. Caught catfish, bass and too many bluegills to count! The owners were super great!! Thanks for sharing such a beautiful place. We would definitely stay again!!!

Most everything was really great. It is a beautiful property. A storm rolled in and so did the algae on the water. Honestly the worst thing is that we were apparently there during millipede season. We were vacuuming up the millipedes in the downstairs 4 times a day. They property manager came out when asked and put more products down. They replaced the oven and microwave before our stay. I am thankful but the new stove means som of the cabinets don’t open. Also we really needed that drink fridge that died before we came because the fridge is small. The game barn is not worth paying extra for

Lovely property in the literal middle of nowhere. Very quiet and serene. There was miscommunication between the owner and cleaning lady who didn’t think anyone was staying there that weekend and we were left with a slightly dirty cabin. The master bathroom looked like it hadn’t been touched with toothpaste splatter, hair and makeup all over the sink. The toilet desperately needed cleaning. We had to assist the making of the basement bed and the other beds didn’t appear to have fresh sheets. Looked like just made from the prior guests. Dirty dishes in the cabinet and all the kitchen towels had food stuck on them. For what we paid for a weekend stay, I expected a cleaner facility. The outdoor space is lovely. Welcoming and beautiful. The game barn wasn’t anything special and we didn’t even use it, just walked around to look at it. Overall, our group would stay there again but we would need to ensure proper cleanliness prior to checking in.

Beautiful place, just as pictured. Cabin was clean and had all needed kitchen supplies. We had good weather and the outside was beautiful, quiet and relaxing. We enjoyed sitting outside and using the hot tub. Would have loved to stay a couple extra days, if time would have allowed. Highly recommend staying here.

This is a truly special piece of real estate — it’s a wonder the owners share it with the public. Everything was clean and as advertised (which is not always a sure thing these days). The owners have pre-arrival communication down to a science, and ensured we had what we needed to access and enjoy the cabin. Thank you!

This cabin and property was just what we were looking for - quiet, remote, relaxing and large enough to spread out. We had two families with 5 kids in total. We added on the game barn and the kids (and adults!) really enjoyed it. We hiked on the property (a map in the cabin and a message from the owner made the boundaries clear). The cabin was decorated for Christmas, which we were really hoping for, and there were plenty of places for everyone to sit to eat and also places to read. The kitchen was well equipped. The hot tub was fantastic and had a great view. We loved every minute and will definitely return.

This property is gorgeous and full of activities to occupy adults and children! The specific directions were very much appreciated since there isn't cell service. The doors all have keypads making it easy to get in. All of the furniture is older but clean. There is a 10-page document that was a bit overwhelming with all of the rules, including a trick instruction towards the end to make sure you read the whole thing. Thought the additional charges for the game barn and early check-in were unnecessary given the game barn is not really maintained, and the early check-in is not guaranteed even if you pay. Overall though enjoyed our stay!

Great experience and beautiful property! Only suggestions would be to provide toiletries that are often forgotten like shampoo/conditioner etc. My experience in similar properties and prices had coffee, creamer, shampoo/conditioner, etc provided to guests. For the price I expected beds to be a little more comfortable, investing in new mattresses and definitely new mattress pads could be a good idea, too. The map that was supposed to show the trail around the lake was no where to be found, we ventured out and found one but it just didn't go all the way around and it was too overgrown to hike early on. Close enough to hard truth, downtown shopping and wineries and the state park. Overall great experience!

The view from the master bedroom and living room is amazing, and their is plenty of fun to be had between the lake and game barn to keep the whole family busy all weekend. Definitely a gem, hope to be back again!

Our family (children and grandchildren) enjoyed an early holiday gathering at this VRBO. The home was fantastic! The owner had decorated the interior to make it very festive. The home was equipped with a well-stocked kitchen, plenty of beds/ bedrooms, many different gathering spaces both outdoors and indoors, and a great variety of activities to enjoy. The scenery is spectacular- on a lake with large property for fishing, canoeing, hiking, a swing set, hot tub, and even a barn filled with games (pool, ping pong etc.) for the kids! We enjoyed our stay, and would love to return when the weather is warmer and allows even more outdoor adventures. The host was very responsive to questions. We would definitely recommend this location and hope we can return again in the future.

Our group was three couples with three children, toddler to school-age, and we had an amazing long weekend at the one in a million lakehouse! Unfortunately, the hot tub wasn't working (had just broken before our visit), but our favorite spot was out on the lake. It was awesome to be able to have almost our whole group out on the lake at once, with the various kayaks, canoe and paddle boards. Playground was nice, but ticks kept us away a bit. Game barn was also a lot of fun, and would have been great if we'd had any rain. We did a lot of cooking in the nice, big kitchen and charcoal grill (NOTE: the gas grill needs a new starter, wasn't working). We plan to be back next summer, thank you so much!! Great communication with owner. Once we arrived, we never left.

This is a truly special piece of real estate — it’s a wonder the owners share it with the public. Everything was clean and as advertised (which is not always a sure thing these days). The owners have pre-arrival communication down to a science, and ensured we had what we needed to access and enjoy the cabin. Thank you!

This is our second time at "The One In A Million Lake" and it was just a good as the first time. Communication with Leidiane was great. My family had a wonderful time fishing, kayaking and enjoying the peaceful seclusion of the property. Little Nashville is only 20 minutes away. Enjoyed several restaurants and shopping. Thanks again for sharing. We all had a awesome weekend!!!!!!!

The property is absolutely lovely. I was informed two days prior to renting that the hot tub was not operational and would not be fixed until two days before our checkout. I asked the owner about a partial refund-the response was an unequivocal “NO” because it wasn’t their fault and the rental agreement stated as much. It is accurate that the agreement states this but the hot tub was one of the primary reasons we were renting this property. My grandkids love to “swim” and the lake was too full of leeches to enjoy swimming. I just want potential renters to beware that there is no reasonably negotiating with the owners even if it wasn’t our fault that the hot tub wasn’t operational. The cottage was well stocked and we had a wonderful time but we won’t be returning.

Lovely property in the literal middle of nowhere. Very quiet and serene. There was miscommunication between the owner and cleaning lady who didn’t think anyone was staying there that weekend and we were left with a slightly dirty cabin. The master bathroom looked like it hadn’t been touched with toothpaste splatter, hair and makeup all over the sink. The toilet desperately needed cleaning. We had to assist the making of the basement bed and the other beds didn’t appear to have fresh sheets. Looked like just made from the prior guests. Dirty dishes in the cabinet and all the kitchen towels had food stuck on them. For what we paid for a weekend stay, I expected a cleaner facility. The outdoor space is lovely. Welcoming and beautiful. The game barn wasn’t anything special and we didn’t even use it, just walked around to look at it. Overall, our group would stay there again but we would need to ensure proper cleanliness prior to checking in.

Beautiful cabin in a very private location. The private pond produced over 100 monster bluegill on one day. Next door to Brown County State Park and a short trip to Nashville. Plenty to keep you busy at the 80 acre property. This property was awesome for our family get a way.

This was our 2nd stay here. Our family loves this place! It is simply beautiful. Close to Nashville, but no one ever wants to leave the property. There is so much to do, and so many places to relax. Thank you to our wonderful hosts.

This property is so nice. You get the lake all to yourself. There are kayaks and paddle boards provided with life jackets. We brought our fishing poles and caught lots of fish. It was our second time here and we would definitely come back.

The property is breathtaking! Our family had a wonderful long weekend. The two year old loved the playground and "fishing" from the beach using a stick :-) We played a little in the game barn which was a great indoor space to get out of the rain one evening. We were surprised to find one of the bedrooms is an open loft but it was not an issue with our 20 something staying up there. We did not use the water toys but there were kayaks, paddle boards and a canoe with lots of life jackets. Jeremy is a wonderful host and has thought of everything. Definitely recommend!!

We enjoyed a girls trip at this beautiful cabin. It was everything we could have hoped for and more. The property itself was so beautiful. Large lake to look at from the house; lots of outdoor seating; plenty of spaces to walk and meander. We never utilized the game barn, but it's there if you want it, as well as lots of kayaks and a hot tub. The cabin itself was very nice. Kitchen was well stocked; nice sun room off of the living area for a more "nature" feel; the bedrooms were great and beds were very comfortable. The host was the quickest at replying to inquiries of any host I've ever experienced in a rental. Very helpful with even the smallest question. I highly recommend this property if you are looking for a place to stay in Brown County!
