The property was clean upon arrival. The host was more then gracious and extremely accommodating. Fenced yard was great for the dogs. Pool was a plus to have on the days we felt like being lazy, but with the provided boat dock, we brought a boat and spent most the days in the water. Caught several nice catfish from the dock also. Will definitely be looking into rebooking this beautiful home at a later date.

Very nice property in a great location. The accommodations were perfect for our group of 4 seniors. The house was very clean and comfortable for the two couples. Unfortunately, we did not take advantage of the outdoor amenities at the house because we were busy with friends.

Quiet canal getaway.
This was a perfect fit for me, my wife and our dog. I was able to launch my kayak from the secluded dock and fish every morning. The yard was perfect for us, very well lit at night and several seating areas to get out of the sun.
We would definitely come back.

Cozy Cottage
The cottage on the canal was a perfect place to stay. It is well stocked with everything you need! Very roomy and clean. The backyard has a great relaxing view and the kids enjoyed all the games. I highly recommend staying here.
