Anniversary R&R

We really enjoyed the house, realizing our anniversary falls in the beginning of March, not a lot of leaves on the trees, but the accommodations were great!

Road trip

We needed to reset the router to get the WiFi to work. No hair dryer or iron. Other than that the environment was lovely, peaceful. The cabin was spacious, plenty of room for more people. Loved the back deck

Great property

Highly recommend this property for any couples or small families. Located very close to the Silverpoint recreational Area and Hurricane Marina, so easy to make a lake day during your stay. The main draw here is the wrap around deck and privacy around the property. It felt very secluded and was clearly well maintained.

Fantastic rental but plastic mattress pad on bed

This property is really nice! Spacious, clean, well appointed. Great location. Quiet. Relaxing. BUT, the mattress pad on both beds is plastic. Plastic - it’s a deal breaker. I understand wanting to protect the mattress. But there are better waterproof mattress pads out there. Sleeping was terrible. Hot and sticky no matter how cool the room. We are so excited to sleep at a hotel tonight. We would have rated this a five star if it hadn’t been for the mattress pads.

Wonderful Vacation Stay

The property is exactly as shown in the pictures. It was peaceful and relaxing at the house. I did not want to leave the back porch with the hanging chairs and fire pit. It was easy to check in and out. We would love to book this property again in the future.
