Liked: Cleanliness, check-in, communication, listing accuracy
Yes, amenities were great. Very thoughtful in their supples and appliances. It was a plus with tv’s in all the bedrooms. Spacious but cozy.

Liked: Cleanliness, check-in
Decent fishing, although water level led to jumping off pear because there were no steps to the sand bar uncovered by late season dryness. Some items could use attention, poor water pressure, some cleanliness and repairs. Door lock was tricky. It would not lock properly and constantly.beeped until manually locked. This would be a great place for a family to stay in the summer, great for swimming and fishing.
