Right on a canal. We put the boats in the water when we arrived and went fishing whenever we wanted, without the hassel of taking them out every night and launching again the next day. The house was very clean and perfect for our needs.

A Week Long Stay

7 days was cheaper than the 6 we needed so check to see if they still have the weekly rate and they had more stuff as far as pans, plates, silverware, toaster, DVDs… than I have in my own house. So check the cupboards if you need something.

Just like home with benefits!!

Walked in and just felt so comfortable and welcomed. Very clean, everything was provided. Being right on the canal with the boat house was really convenient. Was supposed to go in September but due to hurricanes we had to reschedule and the host was so easy to work with. Communication was exceptional. Will definitely be back.

Great Bass Fishing

The lake home was lovely and provided a perfect place for a weekend of fishing. We stayed here once before under a different owner. Ron and Susie have even improved the experience. The house was well maintained and very nicely furnished and decorated. The kitchen was well equipped and there were plenty of towels for all! The dock in back provided a nice place to tie up for a break from fishing.

Fishing and relaxing

From start to finish our time staying at this home was outstanding. The property owner was in contact well before our schedule time, informing me of any details and even a current fishing report. The home was spotless and very clean. All beds were very comfortable and great A/C witch is nice after fishing these hot days. The location is perfect very close to the boat ramp too. I only regret is I’d wished we had booked our stay longer, this place is the best.

Good, Timely communication from property manager. House as described, close to boat ramp, boat lift worked great. House was tidy and clean. Starter packs of all items needed (coffee, paper towels, etc.) were unexpected and a nice touch. Brothers and I enjoyed a quick weekend get away. Good access to lake, was nice to keep the boat on the water.

Love this place and the owners. They have always been a pleasure to deal with. We are very fortunate to have found this place and such accommodating people to rent from. My wife is not the biggest fan of my planned fishing trips, but SHE loves coming here. That says something! This is our second year in a row renting and we can only hope to continue year after year.

The Relaxation is for REEL

Awesome stay in a really peaceful place. Great space with lots of room to stretch out. Everything you need is supplied and the house is very clean. Susie was amazing with cimmunication beforehand, answering any questions, and making sure everything is perfect for your stay. The neighborhood is beautiful, quiet, and safe, and awesome fishing right out back (lots of panfish, and turtles come to visit you too). Our experience was great and we could ask for anything more. Dont hesitate to book and be ready to relax, fish, and be extra comfy for your entire stay.

About the host

Hosted by Susie Roscoe

Host profile image

We're a family of 4 ~ our 2 sons LOVE to fish! We bring our dogs and enjoy the laid back lifestyle that comes with it. While our boys are finishing up high school and college we're sharing this piece of Heaven with you.

Why they chose this property

We rented 'this house' 5 times and had to have it when the owner decided to sell. This place holds the memories of some of our best family vacations ~ BIG FISH STORIES ~ Home cooked meals shared around the table - We LOVED it here! We hope you'll enjoy it as much as we did! We've since added WIFI so you're as connected as YOU want to be.

What makes this property unique

Enjoy our home vs. a fish camp where you have limited space and privacy. Enjoy a fully covered & secured dock with lift for your boat and gear. You're always minutes away from being on the lake with everything at your fingertips vs. prep time required to go.
