Great stay! Home was clean and well supplied with essentials. Stayed for an extended wedding weekend. Host was pleasant and super accommodating to make our visit enjoyable. The hot tub was spotless. Host even made us cookies and gave us complimentary Opossum Creek Retreat glasses & stickers. Check-in & check out was seamless. Highly recommend! Should book ASAP if available!

fantastic place!

This place was perfect and exactly what I expected - quiet but not secluded, furnished well, and cozy! We fit 6 adults without issue, the hot tub was a great way to end every day, and the firewood from the central stall burned well. Easy to find and centrally located to all the activities we were planning.Thanks so much!
