Great Find!

This property was fantastic. The house was all you would want it to be and watching the sunsets over the River while enjoying the fire pit was incredible. Caleb was very responsive.

Thanksgiving in Arkansas this year

The house in Lavaca was ideal for our family Thanksgiving also in Lavaca. The grounds bordering the Arkansas River are lovely. We were able to enjoy walks on the property. The house is spacious and nice. We would stay again when traveling to Lavaca.
