Overall a great place to stay.
8 / 10Excellent·Sep 2025
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.

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!
