This property was perfect for our family of six in town for a wedding. We found it immaculately kept with all the comforts necessary for our stay...even an ironing board! It is an easy walk to downtown shops and restaurants and to the lovely Lake Agnes. The owner went above and beyond to ensure an excellent stay. Highly recommend!

Had a good time

Fun spot and lots of places to sleep. I thought the pictures showed more of a bed room then the curtain set up. However it all worked great. Our kids loved having their own TV over the beds. All in all great spot with no clean up hassle you get at other properties.

Great Place to Stay

Overall this was good fit for our group. Plenty of space for 8 adults and was very clean. Owner was very responsive to messages. Only thing to be aware of is this location is listed as a 4 bedroom home. Although there are 4 beds, there are no rooms or doors between the beds. It is a very open concept. The downstairs beds do have curtains for some privacy.
