Perfect home for our group to spend the weekend. We loved having our boat docked right behind our house and could get to all our favorite spots on the River quickly. The home was well stocked and we enjoyed each having our own bedroom and bathroom. We will be back!

Very very nice house. Plenty of room for all of us that stayed. Home was very clean and provided everything that was needed. Only downfall is the neighborhood and the roads are very tight for a bigger boat trailer but overall great house would stay again!
