What an amazing opportunity to stay at this property! It was exactly what we were hoping it was & more. It was so peaceful. Frank was extremely accommodating. We felt very safe & supported, but also almost like we were there enjoying everything all by ourselves! And the owner’s dog was a very smart, well-behaved & fun sweetheart. Very nice to have her check in with us when we were in the yard, and when we were coming back from a paddle.
We used the kayaks, which we were a little nervous to do. We own kayaks ourselves, but we’ve never kayaked in a lake that likely has gators in it! We got comfortable very quickly & then it was just relaxing. We saw tons of wildlife, including a beautiful Barred Owl the evening we got there! Herons, lizards, squirrels, different types of water fowl, all different types of fish... it was like living in a nature preserve for a while.
The clean & tidy accommodations were exactly what we needed... comfortable bed, water filter... everything worked well, including the AC. The lazy-boy style chairs were very comfortable. The kitchen was well stocked with utensils, glassware & China... as well as many little conveniences you don’t normally think about buying when you plan to cook your own meals, like spices, ziploc baggies, plastic wrap, coffee & coffee filters.
The TV was really nice to have when the bugs came out at night. Not an unbearable amount of bugs, but you are right on the water! We used some natural bug deterrent & that worked well, for the most part.
The sounds at night were lovely! It got really loud, with all the night life out there... mostly frogs. Noisy, but a very relaxing & natural kind of noisy. :)
We cannot wait to come back! And we will absolutely recommend this place to our friends & family.
Thanks for everything!!!
