Perfect friends weekend. The place was well stocked with everything we needed. Clean and comfortable throughout. Eddie was an incredibly helpful host. He showed us the ins and outs of the cabin as well as how to navigate the river and the pontoon. We caught plenty of small mouth and a couple walleye - in the middle of the day as well as at night. Buchanon's a great town - with groceries, Lowery's meat & fish market and nice restaurants (River Saint Joe had great food and tasty in-house brewery beers) all close by, but not too close. All in all a great, relaxing trip and stay.

Excellent communication from the hosts. Located in a cute town that has a couple restaurant options and walking trails. The island itself is very beautiful and serene.

We thoroughly enjoyed our stay at this unique island home. Eddie and Gabrielle were wonderful hosts and we appreciate their attention to detail. The pontoon boat was a big hit with our entire family. Our stay was quiet and relaxing, and we would book with them again. Highly recommend.
