Fathers Day Weekend
Property owner was easy to communicate with! Everything was described accurately on VRBO. The family enjoyed steaks on the grill, using the kayaks and tubes that were available on property! Hours were spent floating in the water right in front of the dock. Definitely an enjoyable stay!!

Everything and more...
This home is charming, and the location couldn't be better. In fact, having to leave to hit the town was our least favorite thing to do because we enjoyed the home and waterfront so much. Also, great Bass fishing!
