Good stay until we saw roaches

We had a great time. It fit our family perfectly. It would be a 5 star review except for the fact there was an infestation of German roaches.

Beyond Expectations!

Every amenity was provided! The outside of the house is appealing but the inside will surprise you with beautiful woodwork and farmhouse fixtures! The beds are heavenly to sleep on and the AC cools the large space incredibly well! We had the best time ever!

Great Property!

This home was just as listed. Plenty of space and things to do. Unfortunately the river flooded days before we arrived but it did not stop us from enjoying the property. We couldn’t kayak but that was not a deal breaker. The host was very transparent and accommodating. I look forward to visiting again so that I can experience the river more!

Great weekend trip

Very comfortable stay for a family (8 adults, 1 child) weekend trip. I was pleasantly suprised with how clean the property was and the accommodations provided. Plenty to do (air hockey was a hit, hot tub, kayaks, tubes) AND great cooking equipment. There was even a bbq smoker present. The river was spectacular and there were so many places to sit and enjoy the view. I would absolutely rent here again. Thanks Teresa for a wonderful, much needed, family vacation.

Fun

It was great for five, but with two toilets and one working shower, it really can’t accommodate 14. Jacuzzi over the river was great. Some updated linens would be an easy upgrade. There was no dishwasher detergent or laundry soap. Location was ideal.

Great time on the river rain or shine

Spacious house with very large decks and porches for families to spread out. There is a wide variety of sleeping areas and lots of entertainment options even on a rainy day. There is plenty of yard space and parking. The hot tub beside the river is fun, as is the floating dock and deck on the river. Kids caught small fish in the river and had a blast. Owner and staff very helpful and responsive.

Cypress Tree

We had a wonderful family and friends time together at the lodge. Everything was great. It’s perfect for a big crowd of people. The only downside is that it’s only 2 bathrooms and the upstairs bathroom the shower do not have enough pressure . But overall, we have a blast. Highly recommended!!!
