Boat Weekend in Astor

Right in the heart of Astor, clean on the inside. Well stocked home (it’s a trailer). Close to the boat ramp and plenty of parking. A/C is awesome after long days on the boat and everyone wanting to be cool. 4 bedrooms is a plus with a group.

Springs getaway

The inside of the home was clean and well stocked. Comfortable beds, cold AC, and plenty of hot water for showers. It's a very nice piece of property but unfortunately it hasn't had any attention for a long time. Overall we had a good stay. Denise was available for any questions or concerns I had before, during, and after my stay.

Aged property

The property is a trailer that has been added on to several times. It was clean, but it is a very aged building in need of structural, plumbing and electrical repairs as well as decor updates. Would not recommend or stay there again. 0 stars out of 5.
