Our 2 burner stove with prep sink is so nice while someone else is hovering over the stove cooking a feast. There is also a stocked drawer of spices for every need.

Overall the house was pretty nice. I do feel new mattresses are necessary. Both beds sunk in the middle. Also rails are needed for top bunks. My grandchildren all slept on bottom for fear of falling out. Thank you for a wonderful stay

About the host

Hosted by Laurie l Authement

Hi, I'm Laurie a mother of 3 grown boys and 6 grandchildren that are my world. So, with that said I have gained so much knowledge when searching for places to stay when traveling with my loved ones. My family enjoys the outdoors, hiking, mushroom hunting, swimming, fishing and most of all bon fires at night. We also love to barbeque. So, with all that in mind I purchased this home summer of 2022 and totally remodeled it myself with help from my best friend, dad and others with 40% of the materials recycled and decor removed from other homes on the property. This location has brought much happiness to me after living in Ms. for the past 35 years, I'm finally home. I decided to share this location while I travel to give others a chance to embrace this little piece of heaven with their families. I have a lot of experience in vacation rentals. I managed 2 of my parent's vacation homes in Ms. Biloxi, Fl. Panamma city, Key West and for 13 years I was a property manager and ran all aspects of 2 VRBO's including maintenance in Biloxi and Gulfport areas. I have 2 other older homes on this property which in the near future will be vacation homes so more families can travel as groups. We also have about 500ft of riverside which is shallow enough to do a lazy river in the future.

Why they chose this property

The peace and serenity of this property is why you will love it here. The location is very close to town, but you feel like you are in the middle of nowhere. You can take a peaceful walk and listen to our little water fall and the flowing river.
