    Cabins at Lake McSwain;
    rented the Cabin at Lake McSwain and was very satisfied. The cabin was clean and inviting. The 3 air conditioning units were significant in enjoying our stay. It was very hot outside, so coming in to cool off was great! We must have gone at a perfect time of year, really no fly’s or insects bugging us. The kids enjoyed the loft, time away from adults on there own to play! Will be coming back 🙂
