This house is a historic home and it is absolutely beautiful. However, it is still updated and cozy. all the beds were very comfortable, the front porch was lovely to relax on, and our boys loved the water right there so they could fish. The host was amazing. Julie is an Excellent communicator, extremely flexible and a joy to work with. We have already booked this house again in the spring when we will be back there for another fishing tournament.

Very cool home!

This home was so spacious! Although we didnt use the back patio area, it was such a cute area for a cookout. Very close to the boat ramp that we could walk to it. Our boys enjoyed their space to rest for their fishing tournaments. The host was always responsive and we totally enjoyed your home.
