Fishing Tournament

Everything was great and super easy with great location. The only negative is the neighborhood was a little sketchy but had no problems at all.

Wow that's a very interesting observation. We have worked very hard to provide a safe and secure place. We are 2 blocks from the central police and fire station for our county as well. Further, we have several other neighbors that are in the process of reviving 100 year old homes in the historic district. We have many exceptional reviews, many repeat customers and lots of good reviews. We are glad that you otherwise seemed to enjoy your stay.
