Great Place (and not just for fishing)

We rented this cabin fully expecting it to be a nice fishing. We were wrong, it wasn't only a nice fishing cabin, but rather a great cabin all together. My wife and I really enjoyed the relaxing afternoons sitting on the back porch or dock. Everything worked perfectly and we look forward to our next visit. BTW...Leo is a great host...top notch!

Fishing Vacation

We loved the property and especially the great fishing dock.We had great hopes of catching fish and planed to fish morning noon and night. I have very good equipment and was well prepared. I went to an area bait dealer and got good tips on what to use for bait and how to fish from the dock. Also discussed with a neighbor.Unfortunately nothing worked and all we caught were a few very small catfish. Not many either. Loved the property, facilities but very dissapointed. We paid a very hansome price expecting to catch some fish. Sorry, but we wouldnt recommend.
