Pretty Waterfront House

We spent our 8th anniversary weekend here for the big bass splash and it was in a perfect location. We were a couple of minutes away from a boat ramp, the house was very clean, and the owner responded quickly when we had questions. We plan to come back in the future and bring our two children.
