Everything was perfect !! Thank you for the birthday wishes and treats very much appreciated!! So nice and relaxing and peaceful, just what we were looking for!!!
Sheila was very amenable to our every need. The property was spotless, and in excellent condition. Every possible need was met to make our stay memorable and enjoyable; from sunscreen to a baitfish net and pail, to lawn games, firewood and snacks. This is one of the most memorable weekends my wife and I have had in years!!!
The host gave so much warm hospitality. It was amazing, we were there for our 30th anniversary and she welcomed us like we were best friends, which would be so easy to be. She had balloons, snacks, etc. enjoyed the Poole, the river, the views. I definitely will go back. It’s a special place for us now.

Thank you so much!!! Please come back and see us 😊 again..Ya’ll were a pleasure and I enjoyed talking with ya!! we still need to have a drink by the fire 🍷🍻
Property is clean and very well appointed. Anything and everything you might need is there down to extra toothbrushes and toothpaste. Kitchen has everything you need and more. ! Outside is setup for grilling and has all the tools. Great place to vacation!
The host went above and beyond to make you feel comfortable. It was a nice touch to have everything set up in the morning for a wonderful day by the pool.
A lovely guest home with an even better view! We enjoyed the pool, fishing, bird watching (bald eagles!) and even a bonus powerful storm from mother nature! The special touches from Sheila were so thoughtful and appreciated. We got to enjoy a weekend of resting and relaxation- the perfect getaway! Will be back soon, thank you for being such an incredible host!
Very quiet and relaxing getaway with great views. The host was beyond accommodating and very responsive. Very nice greeting when we walked in with plenty of snacks, fresh muffins and a cooled bottle of wine. Everything you could possibly need was supplied down to new toothbrushes! Awesome bath towels, comfortable beds and couch/chairs, big clean pool with nice deep end. Tons of pool floats, rafts and amazing sunbathing chairs with umbrellas and again... tons of really nice pool towels. An overall great experience and we will return. You simply won't find a better host!

Thank you so much!!! We can’t wait to have ya’ll come back…Augie says Hi…
This guest house is amazing! The host has everything you could need, both inside the house and on the lawn. She also helped us find a place to get crabs to cook outback. We went for my birthday, and the host even decorated. It made the stay feel even more personalized. The property was stunning, and we plan on returning. We had so much fun!

So so happy you enjoyed your Bday weekend!!! Ya’ll were the 1st to break in the steamer this summer!!!!!!! Please come back and stay again…Augie sends his love..and would love to hop on the kayak with ya next time. :)
Beautiful outdoor area . It was too cold for the pool but we enjoyed the outdoor grilling area and the view was beautiful. Wildlife entertained us all week in the yard!
The view of the river was excellent. The inside was clean. The view of the river from the main bedroom upstairs was great. The house had everything we needed. Outdoor space was very nice although the weather was rainy the weekend we went. We would love to go back so we could use the pool, paddle boards and fire pit. Communication with Sheila the host was excellent. It felt very private.

Thank you for your review. We are so happy you enjoyed your stay. Please comeback anytime maybe when it’s a little warmer so you can use all the outdoor amenities.
Awesome place, great experience. House was clean and there were so many nice added touches by the host. Would definitely come back!! Thanks for the hospitality!!
We enjoyed our stay very much. The host is extremely thoughtful to ensure your stay is great. She put her own personal touch to make us feel welcome and comfortable. The place is very clean and there are a lot of amenities that they offer. Highly recommend!!
Shelia was truly the hostess with the mostest! Her communication was excellent, and she quickly answered every question we had. The property is beautiful, the pool was perfect, and her thoughtful extras made our stay unforgettable.She welcomed us with fresh made muffins, snacks, smore's kit, wine and provided everything we could possibly need—from fully stocked coffee and tea bars to sheets, towels, toiletries, toothbrushes, and toothpaste. The outdoor area had lounge chairs, picnic tables, bar area, a swing, binoculars for wildlife watching, a canoe, paddleboards, fishing equipment, yard games, grills, firewood, and s’mores sticks. The kitchen was also fully stocked. Pool floats and googles and toys were also provided. You truly only need to bring clothes and food—if you want to cook! Uber Eats found us with no problem because I don’t cook on vacation…LOL!The primary bed felt like sleeping on a cloud, and the view of the yard, river, and wildlife was unforgettable. The second bedroom was also great, and the gorgeous bathroom had both a tub and a separate shower. We loved meeting Auggie, the adorable chocolate Lab! We never heard Shelia, her husband, or Auggie, so it felt like we had the property to ourselves. We highly recommend this peaceful getaway and plan to return for a longer stay!10 out of 10!!!!
