I took my 15 year old son and four of his buddies for a two night getaway. The property was beautiful and the spacious open layout of the house was perfect for the six of us. The boys had an absolute blast swimming, fishing, kayaking, and hanging out by the fire pit. Despite constant swimming, they still managed to catch some bass and catfish! One last thing…it was great to be in total seclusion and not have to worry about the boys being too loud; however, there was a Dollar General and gas stations within 5 minutes. Perfect location!!!
