Very clean! Comfortable beds! Excellent Wi-Fi! Two people in our group worked remotely with no issues! Shower was warm and had great water pressure! Beautiful view of quiet and peaceful lake! Great for swimming, kayaking, and fishing! Charming town of Vicksburg is only 10 minutes away with restaurants, ice cream shop, and a large grocery store. The host was quick to respond!
