Nice and quiet
If you're looking to get away with plenty of open space to stretch your legs, this is it. Went down to the river and caught crappie and perch as fast as I could bait the hook. Nothing big, but a blast to have that kind of action. Would be great for kiddos to learn fishing.
The home was older, but well kept. Bed was great. I had everything I needed for a few nights away from town. Super fast internet and smart TVs. I'll be back.
