Lazy Acorn "The Yellow Perch" on Lake Mitchell

Great space for us with our fur babies. We’ve stayed there at least half a dozen times and love the upgrades that have been done. The garage entry is a bonus so we can leash up our pets!

Dog days

After 3 days with no power, single digit temps in the evenings, and no luck finding a hotel room for a family of 5, we were lucky to find this rental at such a reasonable rate for the rest of our 5 day ordeal. Our host let us check in early and we were doing laundry and taking showers that afternoon. I was pleastly surprised how well supplied the kitchen was. We just had to stock food. The kids were amazed at the VHS tape collection & we had a lesson in rewinding tapes and fast forwarding. The cottage was very roomy and we weren't tripping over each other like at a hotel. It was just so cozy and homey. Super-clean, of course. The vibes were immaculate. It was a quiet and restful stay. I'm only bummed we weren't able to enjoy the dock or canal but that was purely weather related. 10/10 would recommend!

Ice Storm Emergency

The host was absolutely amazing. Thanks for everything.

Loved the stay

The cleanest Airbnb I’ve ever stayed in! I had to do a last minute booking and it was great

Great Stay

We’ve stayed here several times, DeWayne is a great host and has made several upgrades making the Perch perfect for us and our dogs. The location is perfect.
