Worked perfect for us!
We stayed here for my son’s fishing tournament. It was perfect for us. It was comfortable and had everything we needed. Much better than a hotel!

Great location and exactly what you look for.
I would rate the stay and home a 100 out of 100! The admin team didn’t send me my welcome email till 9 pm and I had to call the owner, who was extremely helpful, I’m so appreciative. But that didn’t affect my stay. Great place.
