Stayed 4 nights in Oct 2025 ### 10/10 Excellent #### Julie H. 15 Sept 2025 Liked: Cleanliness, check-in, communication, location, listing accuracy I can’t say enough good things about this property and location! I took 5 teenage boys for a weekend getaway to celebrate my son’s 16th birthday and they loved the bunk room and kayaking the canal. The property was very pet friendly fenced in and even had a basket of dog toys and bowls so I didn’t have to bring any. There is a cute restaurant, bait shop, convenience store and pool right down the road. I hope to be back! ##### Julie H. Stayed 2 nights in Sep 2025 ### 8/10 Good #### James L. 23 Sept 2025 Liked: Cleanliness, check-in, communication, location, listing accuracy Stay was great. The only con out of every thing is the TVs are a little out dated where streaming and connecting to enternet was difficult. We had to mirror image the picture from our phones. Couldnt watch football using TV only. ##### James L. Stayed 3 nights in Sep 2025 ---
