About this property

Entire place

4.5 miles to Twin Lakes, small town, pets welcome

Home was built in 1918 and we have kept a lot of the original craftsmanship and charm. Vintage doors and flooring. A 5 minute drive to the Twin Lakes boat ramp, plenty of room for all of your toys. Boats, trailers, fifth wheel will all fit on this acre lot in quiet Jolley.

Pheasant hunters and their dogs are welcome. Lots of great public hunting in Calhoun county.

Great place to vacation in the summer or if you're looking to work remote for a week there is a dedicated work area and Wifi.

The house was very clean and well-kept. The bathroom is very nice as well. It's just a nice little home, and we would not hesitate to stay there again. Jolley is a tiny little town similar to the town I grew up in just a short distance away. We also took advantage of Twin Lakes which is just a few miles away. Good experience!

Working with Travis was wonderful and check in was easy. Extremely small town, nice and quiet. Everything was as described. They were just a couple of small issues which were taken care of right away.I would definitely recommend this house.

Small town hidden treasure

Super clean, newly remodeled but kept much of the original charm. Nice, comfortable beds, pillows, linens. We didn't bring our fur kids, bit food to know they are welcome -- even horses! Highly recommend and would stay again. Thanks!
