Annual Fishing Trip
This is the 2nd property of Heather and Jeff’s that we’ve rented. Their places have always been excellent both with the quality of the homes and the locations. Believe this is our 5th year in a row with them and we wouldn’t choose to stay elsewhere!

Rejuvenating
It was the perfect getaway for the Eclipse. We wanted to be away from the crowds since we have younger children and this was perfect! No matter where you were on the property you had a clear view of the sky. The rest was up to mother nature. She did not disappoint. Heather and Jeff were amazing! They were quick to respond and so accommodating. I would highly recommend this location or renting from any of their properties. We especially loved the sun porch and the covered dock. Many hours were spent relaxing and enjoying both. We would definitely stay again and hoping to.

Fishing Trip
We are more concerned about the docks than the house. The dock has room for 4 boats, two covered. With power to charge batteries. Thumbs Up!
