We really enjoyed our stay and the property owners were the best ! The water was low but it didn’t keep our baseball boys from doing back flips at the end of dock . I even broke a window trying to lock the side door and they were so kind about it and had someone out asap to fix it up for us ! We would 100% stay here again and will on our next tournament.

Great time with family!

We had a great time spent with family and friends. We are a small family based in the area, and plan a reunion every year around Labor Day. This house was great for our family to gather and spend time together. The kitchen is spacious and well equipped with every thing you need. The bedrooms are big and very comfortable. The dock was great for fishing and swimming, wish we had brought the boat. Highly recommend this property to anyone.
