Quiet

We stayed here for a couple of days to just get away and was looking for something that was on the water, allowed pets and was peaceful. Which is exactly what we got. Cant wait to stay again!

Great location

The house was amazing. I loved that it was off a Canal. It was easy to tie our boat to. If I had a question the owner got back to me fast. We really enjoyed our time at this house.

yearly family fishing trip

The trip was a great trip with my four Kids, a Grandson and my brother. Staying on a canal was nice for mooring our boat, pontoon and relaxing, out of the weather. Unfortunately the slips were not clearly marked which made a daily problem with having space in our slips. Each night we would come in from fishing, there wouldn't be room in our numbered slips for our two boats
