The property is beautiful, this was our second year staying at this house. The shower heads and drains desperately need replaced. It was difficult taking a shower, the water did not drain and the shower heads were corroded so badly that hardly any water was coming out. The freezer was broken and we had no idea, and we lost food that we had purchased due to this issue. We love the location, it is hard to beat the stay, but the place needs some simple updates. All together, it just needs a good going through to fix some small problems that would make that stay more comfortable for guests.

We had such an amazing stay! The photos of the property don't even come close to how beautiful and peaceful the location is. The home was incredibly clean and well stocked with everything we could have possibly needed. Our only wish is that we could have stayed longer!

Loved our stay. The property was so cute. Attention to detail was apparent throughout, coffees, other bathroom essentials if you needed them, plenty of towels, paper towels, huge closets, just everything! Beautiful view, husband and son did some fishing from the dock but so nice to sit and just relax as well. Any issues we had, the owners were easily available and very helpful. Appliances and some furniture appeared to be recently updated. Only would suggest a chair & ottoman maybe in LR for seating. Also loved the seclusion of the property, giant yard and those fabulous old trees! Totally convenient to everything as well. Would absolutely stay again and recommend. Thank you!!
