Nice older home suitable for a long weekend. Very close to rend lake facilities, and shopping in Benton. Well kept grounds and house is clean but showing age. Would stay again.

The location of the property is excellent for those that like to fish or just enjoy the outdoors, and conveniences and amenities are just a short drive. House is an older home, but it is well maintained. My brothers and I loved our stay.

House was clean and comfortable. Location is good. Only suggestion is to have house numbers to be seen from the road. Difficult to locate the house originally.

This place is very musty. There is a moisture problem somewhere. We spent as much time as possible away to avoid the musty smell. The mattresses have a plastic cover on them, which is understandable, but makes sleeping hot and every movement sounds like youre moving on a bag of chips. Pillows are terribly flat, so bring your own. This property is fairly close to rend lake which is nice and just a few minutes from town. Overall, it was a safe place for our family to stay but given the condition, was priced too high

Perfect getaway for the weekend

The home is very comfortable for 7 adults. We enjoyed watching the deer in the backyard. We contacted the owner and they were very quick to respond. Can’t wait to stay here again.

Went for fishing trip group of 4. As others have stated, turning around and parking are challenging with two trucks and boat, but doable. Mike was fine with and even suggested driving through grass to get turned around as long as it wasn’t raining. Unfortunately it rained two of the four days we were there. We managed. Property could use a little maintenance but was fine for our purpose.
