Our stay was great. The house worked for our group and was clean. The oven did have something spilled in the bottom that smoked when used, but it was really not a big deal. Informed them at check out, so I'm sure they will clean it up. The place could use a few fixes, but we loved it regardless. The water was low, but the area in front of our place was perfect. We had plenty water to play in. Check In/Out was a breeze.
This property has river access and had water when parts of the river didn’t for floating. Very nice to be able to walk out and go get cooled off in the river. Beautiful scenery! House works perfect if you have quite a few teens with you. They had their own area in the bunk house with plenty of beds and space. Would stay again.
We didn’t even float, we loved playing games and floating around my the house too much
Location was great and had somewhere to swim. House was a little rough, a lot of broken furniture and window but we did have plenty of room for everybody. Pecan trees where little crazy because there was tons of sap on everything .
The location of property is great. There is a deep swimming hole which had water when no one else had water. The river bank and outside area is great. The house itself needs work and a good cleaning. None of the acs worked right. We could not stay in the bunkhouse as it was so hot.
This house was perfect for us to being all of our grown kids and our grands to spend the week together. We had all ages entertained and engaged and not stuck in their phones. A couple of ceiling fans on the back deck as well as in the bunkhouse and bedrooms would not go amiss. We had to go and buy some box fans to really get the air moving in the bunkhouse. Otherwise we really enjoyed our stay.
We loved this place and we were shocked at how beautiful the property was! The only two complaints I have is that the check in/ check out location was a bit out of the way for us, a lockbox on the door would have been much easier than driving an extra 30 min each way to the pick up and drop off location for the keys. The only other thing this place needs is better photos of the property and home itself. The photos online are dark and dingy and have a dated feel. Hire a photographer to take some better photos of the house itself, the property, and the amenities. It would also help for renters to know what the house looks like when they drive by so they don’t miss it (not sure why the front of the house wouldn’t be included in the photos).
Our family of 20 thoroughly enjoyed our stay here. There was something for everyone ages 68-2. Can not wait to go back next summer.
The house was nice a had plenty of space for all the family. The kids enjoyed the huge back yard and the river as well. They were in the water the moment they woke up. Great time and definitely a must next chance we get.
The house could use some updating, but it was clean and comfortable and met our needs. The river area is spectacular! They have a large private riverfront area, and we enjoyed swimming, paddle boating, and fishing. There are beautiful lights there at night by the water, and we made ample use of the fire pit down there for nightly s’mores. There’s a volleyball net, horse shoes, a rope swing, and a bean bag tossing game. But we were all too enchanted with the river to do those activities. I’ve already reserved the place for several days next summer!
Beautiful location with private access to river.
