The houses were so cute! We had a great time and the views were beautiful!! Everything was clean, the air conditioning in both houses kept you good an cold, I was so glad I was able to take my dog with me! My husband had a good time fishing, he caught a lot of catfish, some croakers and some others I’m not sure what they were lol. Shonna is very nice and answered my questions very fast, I’d rent from her again. Thank you for a wonderful time!

What a cute place. We had a great vacation with our adult kids and one of our dogs. Will definitely consider again. Thanks for hosting us. A/C was good could be better in the guest house, but works okay. Porch could be a little more inviting but also works. All in all very relaxing. Thanks again. Very clean.
