Hubby and I stayed for a long weekend. There was room to park with the truck and boat which is sometimes hard to find. Place was clean and perfect for our stay. The owner was very helpful and responsive when we had a question. Great stay.

Quick stay

Nice, clean place. Way better than a hotel. It was cute and had a lot of amenities for a smaller area. The bed was a little uncomfortable but I'd stay again.

Way home.

Wanted a clean place away from the main stream motel/hotel crowd, avoiding the virus. It was just perfect for what we needed and wanted. Very clean and nice, could back right up to the door and nice safe neighborhood to take a walk in.

Was super clean, super cute. Even though it's attached to their home it was very quiet. It felt very private. I think the old open food should be thrown out before new people come to stay. I also think it's a little high in price considering you have to drive 30 minutes to get to anything and everything. They had a bottle of wine and fresh fruit on the table waiting for us. Overall excellent property just a little high in price.
