Amazing Vacation House deep in the woods and on the river! Just what we needed!

The house was very very clean and everything essential was there. The game room is GRAND, filled with multiple seating arrangements and a full sized pool table, there was still room to feel like you weren't on top of each other. All the TVs were wall mounted for ample space, and had bluetooth which is excellent for headphones to ease down quietly, and also accommodating for a bluetooth speaker for surround sound! The river was gorgeous and we were greeted by otters at dusk on one night, munching on fish and mussels, super cool! True FLA experience.
