Trip away

Poppa place was just what we needed. A wonderful family home feeling with all the necessities you could need, especially the fire place on the colder mornings. Communication was amazing and took out any of our worries of being able to extend our stay last minute. Would highly recommended Poppa’s Place.

Great place in a great location

Poppa's place is a great place for a great getaway. We had access to a boat and this was an ideal location for us. The house is clean, well furnished and very comfortable. Highly recommended.
