Rough Around the Edge
This property was a little rough around the edges. It needs updating. Luckily this was a fishing trip for my husband and his friends and they didn't seem to mind the "vintage" look of the house or the strange roped off yard.

Great Stay Very Peaceful
Property was very neat and clean. Only issue was front entrance was over grown a bit with thorny bushes but we managed to handle that ourselves with no issue. Would have liked to enjoy the fire pit out back but did not work out this trip as we ran short of time for that.

I booked this place last minute for a fishing trip my husband, his 2 brothers, and our older children were taking in October. The owners were so thoughtful to check on them when they arrived late. They also had homemade cookies waiting for them. My family fell in love with this place…said it was a perfect location and very clean. We will definitely try to rent again next year. Thank you so much to the owners for sharing your wonderful place with my family!!!
