We had a wonderful stay. The location was perfect—right across the street from the store, making it easy to walk over, and just a short walk to the landing and swimming area. The house was absolutely immaculate, everything is brand new, and it was tucked back in the woods, making it feel peaceful and private. We truly enjoyed our stay and would love to stay here again the next time we’re in town!

This property is absolutely wonderful! The mid century decor is adorable. The design and layout were well thought out. Great attention was given to every detail. It was everything we needed for a perfect fishing trip. K-Cups provided for our morning coffee, as well as paper towels and toilet paper to get us started. There was also salt, pepper, dish soap, laundry detergent, shampoo and body wash. There were even condiments in the refrigerator in case we forgot something. The space was small but spacious with EVERYTHING we needed! This adorable A-frame is directly across the street from the boat launch. It is settled back on a secluded lot which feels very cozy and private. Although we didn’t use it, there is a nice area out back to grill and sit around the fire pit. There was even charcoal for us to use to grill. The house was super clean, it felt brand new! Last but not least, our host, Jeff, was extremely prompt and friendly. He was wonderful to work with. Check in was seamless. We will definitely be back! I highly recommend this property!
