We had a great weekend at Duck, Duck, Getaway! The house was absolutely stunning, and the view of the lake could not be better. If you love to fish for catfish, this is the place for you! We enjoyed exploring the area, relaxing on the porch, and fishing off of the pier. A very quiet and relaxing property. The host was easy to contact and responded very quickly to any questions. Would definitely stay again!
