About this property

Escape to Amy's Mink Cabin on Lake Greenwood

Amy's Mink is a great opportunity to disconnect from life's fast pace and reconnect with yourself and your family. It's right on the lake, with a private boat ramp and a short pier for your use. The cabin's a rustic place, nothing fancy, built out of a picnic shelter by my great-grandfather and brought up-to-date by my uncle. Our wish is to keep this place special and unique and to share our family vacation home with yours. We love the easygoing nature the cabin brings out in us, and we hope you do, too!

The cabin is a nice balance of new and old. Our family enjoys the stereo while cooking or playing board games and cards. The kids fish off the pier and roast marshmallows in the bonfire pit. There's access to WiFi and a Smart TV for your convenience, but we encourage our guests to spend time in the lake, reading, or relaxing in a way that is much easier to do when we're disconnected.

The cabin consists of a large common space (one pull-out couch with a queen mattress), two bedrooms (one with double bed, one with queen bed), bathroom, and kitchen. There is an outdoor shower and a large deck with a picnic table and gas grill. The pier is nice to watch the sunset or read, but only in the summer is the water really high enough to tie your boat. The water level drops in the winter and makes the pier inaccessible by boat. People have told me they still use the boat ramp and just return their boat to their trailer during this time.

The cabin is perfect for the summer but can be chilly in the winter, as the floors are concrete. For AC, there are units in each room and a large unit in the common space. For heating, there are electric space heaters in each of the bedrooms and bathroom. You can set them as you see fit.

Entrance to the cabin is on the lake side. There is a Smart lock on the door for easy entrance. Renters get their own personal code, which is given upon booking. Self check-in makes it easy for you to arrive at your leisure. There is a motion light on the side of the cabin that will light up if you arrive after dark.

Guests have access to almost everything, including the boat ramp. The only areas off-limits are the sheds in the backyard and the small attic space above the kitchen. Nobody lives on-site, so you have the property to yourself and are asked to take good care of the space. If you notice anything -- downed tree, shower leak, etc. -- please let me know me immediately so it can be taken care of.

The cabin is about a 25-30 minutes' drive from Greenwood and Clinton, which is far enough away to where you can really experience the peacefulness of the lake but close enough to make a trip to pick up groceries and other necessities.

Great Stay
We stayed for three nights in the off season. The lake was low and we were able to walk out around the pier to go fishing. We had no problems catching and cleaning fish. We also cooked all meals in the well-equipped kitchen. There is a mini-split AC/heat-pump that keeps the place plenty warm. The neighborhood was very quiet. Also, the toilet bowl is large and comfortable. I will book again.

About the host

Hosted by Ramy Sugg

Host profile image
I grew up going to this cabin with my immediate family to see our cousins and uncles and aunts and to relax in the summer. My uncle began renting out the lakehouse to share our space with others who might enjoy the simplicity of a rustic cabin on the lake. When he passed away in 2016, I took over to continue offering our family cabin. Renting it out helps keep it in our family and continue to update it, so thank you for choosing Amy's Mink for your own vacation!

Why they chose this property

This plot of land was bought over 50 years ago. My great-grandfather believed it to be the best fishing spot on the lake, and other fishermen and fisherwomen have told us the same.

The neighborhood is quiet, with many folks who live here year-round. It is about 20-30 minutes from Clinton and Greenwood, so it's far enough away to feel the tranquility of the lake and yet close enough to do a trip into town for dinner or groceries.

What makes this property unique

You might be wondering about the name "Amy's Mink". Back when the land around Lake Greenwood opened for sale, my great-grandfather John itched at the chance to have his own spot to go fishing. However, my great-grandmother Amy had wanted to buy a mink coat for a long time. They only had enough money for one, and so my great-grandmother gave up her dream of a mink coat so my grandfather and her grandchildren could have a special place to go swimming, fishing, and camping. To show his appreciation, John named the cabin "Amy's Mink", and it's been a sweet & silly family story ever since. :-)
