Let me start by saying, this property is beautifully decorated. We loved the layout of the home and we enjoyed having all of the space. Having a washer and dryer in the house was a big bonus as we used it every day we were there. We didn't use the amenities outside but they had several lawn chairs and a little putt putt golf area that was very small. The inside of the house had a game room but unfortunately we didn't have time to play much. Beds were comfortable, showers had good water pressure and plenty of hot water. Area was safe and we even had a food truck next door! We ended up trying the catfish on two occasions and it was good!We would stay at this property again!

6 / 10Average·May 2026
Housekeeping needs to step it up whomever it may be. We washed the sheets because we found hair and or what we think were scabs between the sheet and mattress cover on all but one bed. The hosts were great though and aside from the sheets everything else was really clean. The one mini golf club that we did find was broken which really bummed the kids out. There was was an internet outage that was completely out of the hosts hands but they were awesome in communication and even had doughnuts and cinnamon rolls delivered for our inconvenience. Overall we enjoyed our stay..
