The host Bert was amazing. He called me with the code for the house and then explain the house to me, then followed up halfway through to make sure everything was working correctly for us and that we were enjoying our ourselves. can’t say enough we were there for a family reunion for a week And will be returning to big Bass lake in two years for another family reunion and I will definitely try to also stay at Bert‘s home. Thank you, Bert. You’re the best.
