This place is one of my most favorite stays. The western theme decor was to die for. The beds were comfortable and the whole house was clean. Perfect for walking to down town. Easily slept 6 people. The host was ontop of any questions i had and was so very polite. We will definitely rent again in the future and will recommend to others. We had the best time.

This home was absolutely perfect for me and my 3 friends who came for a fishing trip. The home was beautiful. The owners were great. We could walk to paddle hard or spikes. We could walk to the fly shop and rays. It was absolutely perfect. I feel fortunate that we found this beautiful home is such a fantastic location.
