A great New Year’s!

My family and I stayed here and it was wonderful. The pictures are accurate and I encourage anyone who is looking for a restful place to stay away from the city, to consider this place. Fishing was fun in the tank (perch and catfish) watching movies on the big screen by the pool was fantastic, and the use of the golf cart was a bonus. The hosts are nice and easy to deal with. Beds were super comfortable too. Plenty of space to relax and hang out.

EXCEPTIONAL getaway with all the amenities!!

As many reviewers have stated, the property is exactly as described, if not better. Tons of things to keep all age groups entertained, and the fishing was an excellent treat for the kids. They caught (and released) a lot of fish!!The sleeping accommodations were great with very comfortable beds, lots of towels, a kitchen that has everything you need to cook for a big group, and a ton of seating in the outdoor space which included pool, hot tub, fire pit, and an outdoor kitchen that has inspired a construction project at home.The owners are very quick to respond and accommodating.We thoroughly enjoyed our stay, and would not hesitate to recommend this to anyone heading to the area. A perfect spot to rest, relax, and catch up with friends and family. We look forward to coming back!

Thanksgiving Gathering

Becky and Hershel’s property was magnificent and matches the description perfectly! They were awesome hosts that were very responsive throughout our stay. We had 6 adult couples, 2 teenagers, and 3 little and we were not cramped at all. The home is stocked with more than anyone could want, including an electric gravy boat! Nice touch for Thanksgiving. No one was left wondering what to do with so many options to do in the property. Our family had a fantastic and memorable stay and we highly recommend to anyone looking for a quiet and enjoyable vacation. Will definitely look to stay here again in the future.
