It was perfect for our little friend group. It has so much to offer, boats, lake access, fire pits, board games, etc. for a great price. The only thing was the water was extra hard and stained your skin orange. That being said we knew about the water before staying there and we are used to hard water so it really wasn't that big of an issue. ##### Meaghan C.

It was great for my time in Colon. There are some quirks about the place but the managers are upfront about them when you book. For example it is well water and does sometimes have a slight smell to it. The bed could have been a little better, but I didn't have any trouble sleeping. ##### Paul D. Stayed 6 nights in Jan 2024 ### 8/10 Good #### Jennifer M. 27 Dec 2022 Liked: Check-in, communication, location, listing accuracy #### Quiet Christmas getaway Property is nice and quiet. We were there during a snowstorm, it was very nice. There is a lot of iron in the water which leads the water to look Brown. We were unaware of this and it was a little disconcerting. Truly, the only improvement I would add to this was to be informed of the water so that we could have brought more with us as the weather was quite dramatic and travel was difficult while we were there. The property managers were amazing! They helped with everything we had questions about. We had a lovely time. ##### Jennifer M. Stayed 3 nights in Dec 2022 ### 6/10 Okay #### Jake C. 21 Jun 2024 Liked: Check-in, communication Disliked: Cleanliness #### Decent location, old house Overall the location was decent, however the house appears to have been built in the 50's, as it still has remnants of cloth insulated wiring and appliance disconnects from that era. Definitely not sealed well as there were quite a few flies and ants around. The bathroom fan also needs to be replaced as it is making quite a racket from the fan blades hitting the housing. By far the biggest issue is the water quality. The water has so much iron in it, it smells metallic and stains everything orange. Even a brita filter couldn't handle it. ##### Jake C. Stayed 6 nights in Jun 2024 ### 8/10 Good #### Richard G. 1 Jul 2024 Liked: Cleanliness, check-in, communication, location, listing accuracy #### Could have stayed longer We rented this property for it's location near the Folton Wedding Barn. Wish we could have stayed a little longer to enjoy some time on the water and throw in a fishing pole. The home was well suited for two couples. They experienced a Tornado in May and there are a few things yet to be repaired. The trees will take some time to grow back out. The neighbor hood has made great strides in getting back to to normal. There are many items to be used in the water for both adults and kids. If you will have more than two vehicles parking would be a challenge. The pier and swimming raft look new. The home was well supplied with everything you need including lots of towels for swimming. Although there is no central air the large wall air conditioner cooled the entire home very well and we had 87degrees and 90% + humidity. This place would be great for a long or short stay, even some Ice fishing. ##### Richard G.

It is a great little place. There are a few little quirks but everything is clear in the description and or instructions. ##### Paul D.
