The pictures do not do this place justice!!! The primary suite is almost the size of an entire house with a full kitchen, living and bedroom! With a shower that you could host a party in! Each bedroom had its own en suite bathroom perfect for couples traveling together. The patio space is perfect for entertaining. Looking forward to staying here again.

Spectacular property and home. Tons of room for everyone. Plenty of spaces for just about every activity you could want. I think our only criticisms were the proximity to the highway (noisy from traffic) and not being able to swim in the pond because of alligators. We had intentions of swimming but there was a pretty large alligator in the pond. This became a moot point because we enjoyed looking for the alligator (kind of like “Where’s Waldo”), and we found a great place to go swim not far from the house at Hawkins Lake. All in all, we give this place a 10 out of 10. We would happily stay here again.

Undersold

The pictures didn’t really do the place justice. Master bedroom is really its own apartment. A deck wraps around the 2nd floor. The patio and dock were perfect. The fish were plentiful. It was great.

Amazing place for large groups

I would HIGHLY recommend this home for anyone with large groups. The whole upstairs master bedroom is a suite in itself with its own kitchen and mini living room. Then I think just about every room has its own bathroom. On top of that, the guys spent their time fishing all day with all the littles and just about everyone caught at least 2+ fish! Spacious, fun, and relaxing!

Big house for relaxing

House is nice. We enjoyed relaxing, casual fishing and watching TV/movies. Seems to have been newly remodeled and we noticed a few finishing touches that still need to be done. For such a large house, it needs to be stocked with supplies for large groups (extra towels, larger pots & pans, standard coffee maker vs just single serve keurig, etc.). But overall I would recommend staying here.

Upgrade beds

The house was nice and big as described. It holds a large group well. They could make it much better by improving the beds. Either new mattresses or pillow tops, better blanket, pillows etc. The only comfortable bed was the master. Some chose to sleep on the couch bc it was better than the bed. For the price of the property the bedding needs an upgrade. There is also very little supplies. There were only 3 trash bags and some dawn in the kitchen. That’s it! No dishwashing soap etc. Other than that the property is on a beautiful lot and is very spacious.

Thank you for the feedback. The bedding was chosen so it can be washed easily and would hold up well over time. Some upgrades are being made. We do try to only put minimal supplies in the house to get you started on your stay. If we put a whole roll of trash bags people take them. We do supply dishwashing pods.

Friends weekend

The house was a great place for our get together. Loved the outdoor space and back porch. Great place for playing cornhole and sitting outside. Fishing was really good. Caught bass every time we went to the pond. The house clean and enough beds for all of us. There was a few issues that I need to address. The back door was very difficult to open. The handle has been installed upside down and would not operate very well. Constantly had to force door open. In the kitchen there was only 6 forks, no regular spoons and not a set of knives. This made us having to clean utensils after ever meal. I would have expected more given the amount of people you can sleep in the house. Also several lights were not working, which is not a big deal for us but again I think that those are little things that people notice when renting a house . Never able to get TV to work and could not connect to Wi-Fi even after contacting owner. Just think these issues are easy to fix and make the house super place to stay.

The kitchen pots and pans were old with flaking nonstick bottom. Not ideal for cooking at the house. Great place to chill but not for eating in. Fishing was fun. Floor was very dirty. Don’t walk bare feet in the house.
