The property is absolutely beautiful, well maintained and clean. The bullhead and perch that my kids caught out of the pond were huge and they caught quite a few of them over our stay. If you are looking for a place just to relax or to catch some fish this is it. Communication with the host was great and check-in was simple.

Perfect!

This house is absolutely perfect! It is beautifully decorated and maintained and is located in a lovely community. We were in town for a family reunion in Pulaski and this was the perfect distance from my family’s lake house. The communication with the property manager was exceptional and prompt and I would look into staying at the other locations if I am ever in those areas. Would be back in a heart beat if it stayed pet friendly!

Fishermen Trip

Over all the house was just fine for our needs. The place was very clean on arrival. The host was very responses and contacted us a few times during our stay to insure that we were happy and asked if there was anything we needed. Only negative was the listing says it sleeps 8. What it didn't say was the bunk beds in one of the bedrooms are for children which are not conducive for adults. Mike

A Much Needed Quiet Escape

The property was amazing! The house had all the modern amenities we could want and was well stocked with all the basic necessities (cooking utensils, paper products, etc.) They even had a a welcome basket with little treats (cookies, popcorn, Hershey Kisses) and a bottle of wine on the kitchen counter when we walked in. The view was awesome! Even thought we were warned that the lake had been drained for construction on the damn, we had a good rainfall Friday night and woke up Saturday to a beautiful nearly full lake! I can say, by far, that this was the nicest home we stayed in with the friendliest and most communicative hosts! I would absolutely recommend this property to anyone looking for a quiet getaway!
