The inside of the property was as very small but clean and nice. The location wasn’t very pleasant view of neighborhood. No tv’s in bedrooms. Water smelled like rotten eggs and the sink in the bathroom ran dry slow. The view from the deck was amazing and the dock was great for fishing.

Great get away!
This home is adorable, immaculate and obviously well cared for. I stayed for a week to get away from the city and this was perfect! I plan on coming back many times in the years to come!
