Perfect for a weekend getaway
We LOVED this place! Clean, quiet, peaceful, and roomy. The best part is the little thoughtful amenities, like sleeping masks. There were little things like that all over the place so you can tell that the owner really cares about their renters. We wil definitely be back!

Fantastic house!
The house has everything you'll need. And then some. My kids absolutely loved learning to kayak and fish and use a record player. We hung out and played card games and yard games. We rocked out to The Beach Boys and AC/DC. Toiletries were provided (even makeup remover!). My kids cried when we left and said they wanted to move there. Thanks for the lovely stay, Katie!

Locals but loved the get away
This place was perfect! We live nearby but met up with friends for a couple of nights for fishing and relaxing. Plenty of room inside and out! The kitchen is well stocked, the beds are comfortable and the place is just great! Can’t wait to go back!

About the host

Hosted by Katie Funck

Host profile image
My husband Frank and myself purchased this property and fell in love with the area but we have 3 dogs who needed a yard so we purchased our forever home and are providing this home as a vacation rental to others. Buddy's Place is named after our chocolate lab who loves the water, like any retriever.

Why they chose this property

This house is located near Warsaw Bar & Grill (you have to try their Monday night steak night!). The property is minutes from Blood River Landing the event headquarters for the Tickfaw 200!

What makes this property unique

People love how this property is close to all the fun things happening on the Tickfaw River & Lake Maurepas, yet being located in a quiet area. There's something about sitting outside on a rocker late in the evening and just looking at the water that is so calming.
