This was a beautiful place to stay and felt like home. We recommended it to everyone. The bedrooms were spacious, the kitchen had everything we needed. Wi-Fi was easily accessible, as was the boat ramp. Check-in was simple. Decor was lovely. Loved the fireplace and porches. Don’t pass this up. This was for a 4-day anniversary stay - we loved it.
