Testimonials

~Heather

Odum, Georgia

Enjoyed staying at this location. It was convenient and very nice and private. Very friendly host. Loved being able to put the boat in and fish all day. Would definitely stay again.

~Amanda

This property is full of old Florida charm, with cypress trees, palms, waterfront, wildlife (peacocks!), and the old but updated cabins! My husband, son and I stayed while we were in town for a fishing trip and gator hunt. The location is perfect to get to the lake. The cabin is extremely clean and cozy. My husband and son said they have the best pillows ever. Perfect little hideaway after late nights and early mornings. The property has a boat launch which makes it easy to access the water. Our hosts are welcoming and friendly, they epitomize Southern hospitality! We will be back!
