Angler's Retreat is a perfect place for fishing Clarks Hill or Russell. Very convenient to both lakes. The home is well equipped and has plenty of parking for your boat. We will be looking to stay here again when we are back in the area for a trip. The hosts are very responsive and easy to deal with.

Fishing Trip

Was a great location for fishing. Bathroom could have been a little cleaner and faucet at bathroom sink needed more pressure.

A wonderful place and even better host!

We had to make a last minute change of plans and our host was absolutely amazing to work with. She went above and beyond to help us get this house booked and I cannot say enough wonderful things about her! The house was also so comfortable and clean and easy to get to. The beds were comfy and the kitchen had all the amenities that we needed. We were traveling with a toddler and it was a very safe place for children. I look forward to staying here again soon and recommend it highly!

Well stocked, very, very pet friendly but ask your accommodations vendor to be specific about any pet fees in advance. As sisters traveling together, we found everything we needed to be comfortablein this house. A full length mirror would be a bonus. But, yes girls... this is a comfy nest for ladies, too. If in the area, we would go back.
