We couldn't have asked for a better experience for our stay here! Seclusion and peace, while having space to enjoy the outdoors! Kade was incredibly accommodating and responsive and the property was impeccable. I loved the 2nd level patio and the pergola-covered deck area overlooking the pond! We enjoyed grilling and sitting on the patio furniture while watching our boys in the back. My 3 boys LOVED fishing off the dock, jumping on the trampoline, and going in the boat! Multiple nights of having a campfire whole listening to the frogs at the pond. It was very relaxing! We only wish our stay didn't have to end because they would have fished for so much longer! We felt right at home and had everything we needed to make memories together! There is no doubt that we will be staying here again if our schedule brings us back in the area.

I took my 15 year old son and four of his buddies for a two night getaway. The property was beautiful and the spacious open layout of the house was perfect for the six of us. The boys had an absolute blast swimming, fishing, kayaking, and hanging out by the fire pit. Despite constant swimming, they still managed to catch some bass and catfish! One last thing…it was great to be in total seclusion and not have to worry about the boys being too loud; however, there was a Dollar General and gas stations within 5 minutes. Perfect location!!!
