Family vaca
This was the perfect spot for our family vacation. The ease of being able to take the boat in and out of water right at your house and not driving to a public boat landing. The house was beautiful. We took our dogs and they had plenty of yard to play fetch in. They loved swimming in the river. We did a lot of morning & afternoon fishing off the dock and caught many fish. One day we drove the boat to Dog Island and the next day we enjoyed the local beach. If we stay on the river again, we will definitely we staying at this house. Oh, and that screened in room with the bed swing is amazing! I would sit out there and read. I did have to message the people who rent it out and we received a reply back very quickly. 5 Stars!

Beautiful!
Our stay at this home was truly exceptional! The property is absolutely beautiful and perfectly situated for a relaxing getaway. We brought our boat along and the dock made it incredibly convenient for us to tie up when we weren’t out exploring Dog Island.
One of the highlights of our stay was the bed swing on the porch. It quickly became our favorite spot in the mornings for a peaceful start to the day, and in the evenings, it was the perfect place to watch the stunning sunsets.
I highly recommend this home to anyone looking for a serene and picturesque vacation spot. We can't wait to return!
