Host very kind, communicative, and wonderful. House was fair/average. Pictures are deceiving as lot is very steep and on a diagonal, so neighbor’s property extended behind this house and felt like he was in our yard. Neighborhood was very unappealing.
Blue is rental, but gives idea of neighborhood.

Clean, cozy, lakeside home with a beautiful view. We thoroughly enjoyed our stay while visiting both the Ark Encounter & Creation Museum. We enjoyed sitting by the lake watching fish jump & turtles swimming. Next time we’ll pack appropriate attire to use the kayaks.Dee was an amazing host and a great communicator. She was always quick to respond to inquiries before, during, & after our stay.
