Can't swim here
This was not as advertised. There isn't a safe path to the water, and once you get there it looks post-apocolyptic at best thanks to the alligator gar skeletons and murky water. Also, this says it sleeps 4, but there's only a full size bed in the corner of the room. So it sleeps 2 uncomfortably close. We left shortly after we arrived.

Simple Peace
Our host contacted me personally to welcome us and make sure the a/c was at a comfortable level. Property was surrounded by other little eccentric little houses. He also wished us safe travels when we checked out. I did not like the idea that we couldn’t adjust the a/c ourselves and there was not a tv. You do need to be able to walk up and down a very steep ramp to get to the river. There was hot water but the shower was a rainfall faucet with a curtain that wrapped around and clung to you as you showered. The door was lockable but it didn’t feel secured. It was a clean room. If you want to just sit outside and BBQ and do yoga this might be a place for you. It was peaceful but not a place we will personally visit again.

Didn't send check in details until 10:19pm
The day of my check no check in details had been posted. I had to reach out multiple times to ask for them, I messaged via the app at 6pm, called at 7pm, was told they would be sent via text, I didn't receive them until 10:19pm at which point I'd already reserved elsewhere. I was told I would receive a full refund, but when I inquired about it days later I was told there was nothing preventing me from going to the property and the owners didn't feel a refund was warranted.

Breathtaking!!!!
What a beautiful property!! It was very quiet and peaceful. There were multiple places to sit on the property such as hammocks or in the comfy chairs placed next to the waterfall, all which sit under their large old oak trees. The boat dock was a so much fun! We even went swimming. You can also fish or just enjoy the serenity of the birds and cliffs across the river. In the evening you couldn’t hear a pin drop at the dock. The wildlife was amazing. There were vultures, beautiful birds and herds of deer everywhere, so be sure to drive slowly and carefully.. It doesn’t matter what time of the day. The deer were on the property as well and it wasn’t uncommon to see them walk down to the docks to drink water in the evening. The property also had outdoor games, grills and a place set for us to sit and meditate. Thank you so much for the beautiful experience! I will be back!

Great place
This property was very gorgeous and obviously well suited for guests with everything well labeled. The only thing I wish that would change would be faster WiFi, steam cleaning the carpets, and bottled water available in the fridge.

Secluded Solo Vacation
I chose this property to get away from the ebbs and flows of busy city life. The environment was peaceful, relaxing, and overall rejuvenating. Exploring the property, there were multiple places to sit and unwind. Whether you wanted to be by the river, curl up with a good book next to their waterfall, or feel enveloped by the bustling leaves of the gorgeous trees, this place was an absolute dream to reset the mind and body. I highly suggest this place if you want to get away from it all. The owner also has a gorgeous Golden Retriever which makes the place all the more worth checking out!

Cute upstairs getaway
We rented the upstairs cottage for the weekend to be close to a race on Saturday. The stained glass doors into the unit are beautiful and the bathroom is very pretty. The grounds are spectacular and you have use of the boat dock on the water. If we had more time I'm sure we would have hung out there more. The kitchenette was adequate for basic food, we could make tacos and sandwiches. The winery just up the road is very nice and we spent some time there and at the one just 10 miles away. Such a beautiful location, there were deer all over, you had to drive slow because they jump out of the bushes and run across the road right in front of you!

Cottage by the lake
A very relaxing place! We enjoyed swimming and fishing off of the dock. Denise-a friend if the owner went over and beyond of making us feel welcomed and comfortable. Winery a short distance Deer everywhere---so fun to see in a natural setting While the accommodations is a 5 star the location is a bit remote. 30 min drive one way from basically everything. We didn't mind but just wanted to let others know about the area.
