It was lovely. Only issue was the big hill to go down or up to get near the lake. A railing would have helped those less physically strong.

Glad you enjoyed your stay. Sorry the slope to the lake was a little much for some of your guests, but the views are still breathtaking, especially at sunset.

I would give this retreat one million stars if I could! By far the BEST we’ve stayed at. Super clean, super cozy, super spacious and super hosts! The attention to so many details in every aspect of this property shines through the minute you walk through the door. Spectacular sunsets over the private lake and the serene country atmosphere made this the perfect retreat for a fantastic girls weekend. The Hosts even helped out with a flat tire the day of checkout. We will for sure be back to stay for our next adventure to the Burg!!!

About the host

Hosted by April Burnside

Host profile image
I’m from the Delta but have lived in Hattiesburg for 20+ years. I have a love for design, well more like HGTV, and my husband has a passion for aviation.

Why they chose this property

The lake is private, always looks like glass, and has the most colorful sunsets. The geese and ducks keep it from being too quiet, and the back deck and patio are the favorite spots.

What makes this property unique

This home is designed with your comfort and needs in mind. I had the joy of living in this house while renovating, so anything we found ourselves needing, we made sure to add it. You’ll love it’s far enough from the bustle but still close enough to see your favorite spots or restaurants. Can’t beat the waterfront retreat.
