The Whiskey Barrel – Property Highlights

Whiskey Barrel is a one-of-a-kind stay! Originally a vintage 1979 Marshfield mobile home, it has been completely transformed into a cozy, cabin-inspired retreat. With thoughtful renovations—including added living space, sheetrock walls, and hardwood floors—it is warm, inviting, and full of character.
Perched among the cypress trees, the cabin offers peaceful views from nearly every room, where you can relax and watch the Spanish moss gently sway in the breeze.

Bedrooms & Bathrooms: 4 bedrooms, 2 baths.
Please note that the 4th bedroom is a very small room connected to Bedroom 3. It accommodates the bunk bed and an armoire, creating a cozy sleeping space that’s best suited for children or guests who don’t mind a compact room.

Living Spaces: Living room, dining room, kitchen with bar, and a sitting area overlooking the cypress trees and lake.

Expansive Decks: 4 decks total – 2 upper decks adjacent to the house and game room, a spacious lower deck, and a deck above the boathouse for relaxing and boat watching

Hot Tub & Seating: Deck includes hot tub and outdoor seating

Separate Game Room: Big-screen TV, large leather sectional with power recliners, foosball table, slot machine, and full-sized fridge/freezer
