Vacay
Our stay was very nice. We didn’t however have any kitchen towels or dishcloths or any hand towels for the bathrooms. We were supposed to clean before we left but found no cleaning supplies. I cleaned the best I could with paper towels and hot water.

Great place to get away
If you're looking for a quiet and remote getaway near Fayetteville, this is perfect! The location is a bit out of the way but that's exactly what we wanted. The view of the river and outdoor amenities including hot tub, Cornhole, fire pit, and horse shoes were all we needed to keep us entertained during our five night stay.

Great Getaway
Wonderful place to stay. The host was very responsive and even gave us a tour of the property. This will definitely be a repeat visit. The river was way to fast for the family to fish in but in the same area is a swamp and it was perfect for letting the kids fish!
