Thank you for staying with us! We're so glad you enjoyed the home and found the golf cart helpful for exploring Buckeye Lake. We'd love to welcome you back on your next visit!
The Host, Samantha was a great communicator and very helpful (more for my silly questions as nothing came up during our stay with the property) and the property was just as advertised. The home was clean with an "at the lake" feel. Very comfortable and safe while staying in Buckeye Lake. Will definitely rebook this property in the future!
