Weekend getaway

Amazing property to stay at. The owner was very responsive to any questions that I had from the time I booked and through the stay. Property was just as described and well furnished with dishes, games, cookware. We had a blast on the community dock that is literally out the back door of the property and caught some fish, shrimp, and crabs.

Cozy Fishing House

The house was very well stocked and the listing was extremely accurate. The house was within a short walk of the boat launch and right by a really nice fishing pier. I loved how the house was decorated and the owners were extremely kind and responsive.

Charming!!!

This property was a perfect destination for my friend and I to take a break from the stress of life. The house was so charmingly decorated and looked exactly like the pictures online. Sitting under the covered porch in the back was so quiet and peaceful as we enjoyed the awesome view of the lake. The owners were wonderful to work with as well. We will definitely keep this property on our favorites list and hope to go back sometime.
