Peaceful Getaway

Amazing stay. This is the perfect spot for peace and fishing. Had an amazing stay. Host stay on site very convenient if anything is needed. The only thing if I could change is it’s a bit dated with decor etc.. but if you’re looking for a place to fish and take a break from city life. This is it!
