Great place to get away... from everything.

The property is best reviewed in four components: 1) The House. It's great for anyone who just wants to get away from the world. Simple. Clean. Has all the stuff in it you normally expect (linens, towels, forks, pots, pans, internet, etc.) The matresses could maybe stand an upgrade, but the water pressure is great and it even has a massage chair! The Property: It's unique. It's big. There are visiting sitka deer and other types of wildlife. Bring muck boots if you plan to wander beyond the driveway. The Pond: AWESOME! Fishing is what we were there to do. We caught more bass and snakehead in that pond than we did at any other area we visited. Hope it stays that way. The Commute to the Property: We weren't expecting the main roads leading to/from the house to be flooded ALL THE TIME. It seems to just be the way things are down there. Be prepared for 6-8" of standing water on the roads. It can catch you off guard, especially if you find out at night. OVERALL: I catch wait to bring my kids to this place. If you have littles you want to teach how to fish, or just want quiet quality time with family, this is a great spot for it.
