Better than described

The place was actually better than the pictures. The area was beautiful and conveniently located close to areas you would want to frequent while in Arkansas. The owner was very quick to reply to all communications. Highly recommend.

Unit was very clean. Water in Lake was low so dock was sitting on mud 20 feet from any water. Don't know if that is a seasonal thing since we went in the middle of March before spring rains. The non-stick coating on all pans is fairly scratched up. Need new cookware.
