"It was like a home away from home but with an incredible view. Front row seats to beautiful sunrises and sunsets while surrounded in a symphony of birds chirping, frogs croaking and the gentle flow of a creak right outside the front door. If you're looking for a place to get away from the city, do some fishing and enjoy time with loved ones, this is the place to be."

"The property is wonderful!! It’s in a great location and community. The only thing I would encourage the host to do is to make sure the vrbo listing includes it is with the guest house/apt. Sign since it’s upstairs. I would also include some restaurants in the area like Vermilion or Hawarden. We went yo Central cafefor bkfst. It’s delicious and just a short drive. This is a great place to stay and I would recommend it"
