Family fishing trip 2025

Great place for a family vacation. House is newly built and is absolutely beautiful. Lots of space to hang out and relax when we were not out fishing. Maybe the biggest TV I have ever seen. Private pool is a bonus enjoyed by our whole family. Owner super responsive to answering questions. He has access to property across the street so I could park the boat trailer. Walking distance to a great restaurant. We will definitely be booking another stay here.

Great spot in Port Mansfield

Me, my adult son and my college buddy stayed at this property for a 3-day guided fishing trip out of Port Mansfield. The property was perfect for us. Internet was great, TVs were great, kitchen was well furnished with nice stuff. Appliances, including washer/dryer, HVAC, freezer and BBQ grill were great. Beds were very comfortable which was great after 3 days of wade fishing. I will definitely look to stay at this property again for our next fishing trip.
