Clean and Convenient

We stayed here while fishing the SeaArk Catfish Invitational. It was clean and convenient to Ingalls Harbor. Enough room for a truck and 24’ boat although we had to stop a little traffic to back in the driveway. :)

Cozy cottage

My husband and I (in our 60s) enjoyed our weekend stay in this little house that is very nicely updated, well furnished, thoughtfully outfitted, clean and comfortable. The host was an excellent communicator and also very kind as she accommodated our need to change our travel dates due to the winter storm.

Liked: Cleanliness, property conditions & facilities
Our 10 night stay here was wonderful! The owner has thought of everything and the welcome binder was full of helpful information. Alrhough it’s small in space it was very adequate for the needs of 2 people. The bathroom is very small with little room to put your toiletries but a small stand was provided. It’s an older home but the entire house interior has been completely remodeled. We were extremely frustrated bt the lack of a number pad on the control for the tv. It was very difficult to find the networks and shows we wanted to watch in the Roku app even in the ‘Recents’ or ‘Favorites’ categories. Overall, this was an excellent place to stay for our visit to Decatur. We would definitely stay there again!

Good location and price

Overall clean and comfortable experience. Probably the time of year and environment but could use a bit more pest control for small/large insects. Host was great at communication and location was perfect for us to be able to visit family easily!

Family getaway

Pristine property and amenities. Neighborhood a bit rundown next door home particularly with cars in front yard. Otherwise, quiet and pleasant. Home provided with lots of extras. I contributed some skirt/pants hangers as there were none in closet.
