Great Weekend Getaway

We stayed for four nights and was very pleased. Everything was clean, easy to get to, the porch is amazing, my 3 year granddaughter played out there forever. The boat dock was perfect for our boat, and we fished off the dock as well, The owner was easy to communicate with, gave us a tour when we got there and made chocolate chip cookies. I will definitely keep this at the top of our list if we are in need of a place again. Thanks for a great stay.

What a lovely place. So peaceful. Jody was fantastic and Malinda was a pleasure... She was so sweet checking on me during my stay. The welcome sign was a nice touch and the fresh baked cookies were an unexpected treat.The home is the perfect get away. I was in town for the dirt track races in Barberville and the home was a short 20 minute drive away. The home is nicely equipped and plenty of room to relax. The back porch is a perfect spot for your morning coffee to sit and listen to the birds sing. Thank you again for a wonderful stay.
The fresh baked cookies are a sweet treat.
