VERY ❤ NICE!

We had a GREAT stay/time @ the Flip flop inn. The house was clean and roomy. It had everything we needed and more. We really ENJOYED fishing, paddle boarding, and boating on the river it is BEAUTIFUL. We used the fire pit almost every night. The yard is large with plenty of room to park. The boat ramp, state park/head springs, grocery stores and shopping are all close by. Juanita was a kind and thoughtful host. We would stay again.
