We had everything we needed. The house was clean and very well stocked. We didn't have to get toilet paper or paper towels, etc. The water was a quiet part of the river with easy access to the main channel. We had plenty of kayaks to enjoy the water. This was an amazing family Christmas vacation. The hosts were very accommodating and quick to respond. We will definitely be back!

Loved the bougie hippo!

One of the best stays we’ve had in a while at a VRBO property. Host was very communicative and helpful with all my questions. We had a minor issue come up and the host addressed it right away! Loved the kayaks and the game room. Already booking for next year!
