5 Stars: Our 2 day stay at this beautiful property was wonderful. The accommodations were upscale and very comfortable. The adjoining kitchen and living room were perfect for our group gatherings and meals. Rebecca, our host, had conveniently provided all the necessary kitchen amenities to include outdoor grill plus coffee, creamers, bottled water. The whole home has been recently remodeled with large bedrooms and bathrooms and showers with rainfall shower heads, the house and bedding perfectly clean with nice decor. We plan to stay here again in the near future.

Excellent Property

This house was absolutely amazing!! It was everything we had hoped for! We had 11 people stay and still plenty of room!! The house was fully stocked with everything you needed in the kitchen and bathrooms! Beds were comfy and everything was clean! Having the boat dock, kayaks and outside furniture was a great addition. We would definitely stay here again!! Thank you so much!
