Beautiful home with exceptional cleanliness, comfortable beds, awesome nespresso machine, cute décor and high-quality kayaks that made exploring the water a highlight. The outdoor spaces are well designed, peaceful, and perfect for morning coffee or winding down in the evening. The property is well maintained and thoughtfully set up, making the entire stay smooth, comfortable, and genuinely enjoyable. Highly recommended for anyone looking for a relaxing, well-appointed getaway. Kayaking up stream on the river torwards the weeki state park was breathtaking but the current is very strong to paddle against. We only made it so far before turning around and cruising the current back. Definitely coming back to explore more of the area. The owner was excellent at communicating throughout the experience.
