Great location for fishing and weekend getaway
Rebecca was a great host. House was clean and easy access. It is in a great location and close to two major boat ramps to put our boat in to go bass fishing. Lots of food and grocery stores close by. Also lots of electric outlets to charge boat battery outside. We loved it and look forward to coming back next year or this summer again.
