Summary: Everything was amazing about this place from check in to the fact that it had every single appliance, spices, pots, pans, ….. just everything you could possibly need everywhere in the house. The beds were comfy. It was nice sitting out back at night listening to the owl and other critters. The price is very reasonable. I highly recommend it whether you are a hunter or just a fun place for a family reunion. Just minutes to restaurants and bars and a grocery store.
