It was a nice place. But I do believe you have a racoon living in the walls of the house but liked the fishing area. Great bbqpit and area.

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.

Emma's College is an incredibly pleasant and enjoyable experience. The cottage has everything you could need for a great weekend getaway, from a refrigerator, microwave, and coffee maker to excellent air conditioning. I especially loved the pier fishing area; it was amazing. The cleanliness and atmosphere were top-notch, and communication with the manager was fantastic. I strongly recommend this spot to everyone and can only give it five-star ratings.
