Perfect Talquin getaway

The house was perfect for us. It was very clean, even the outdoor spaces. Very well outfitted in the kitchen, and just a fun property overall. And several extra touches that helped make the stay even better. The dock was perfect to tie our pontoon to and get on the water. Great house!

Fantastic Lakefront Stay

We had a fantastic time during our stay on this property. I was impressed with how clean it was. It was so very nice to arrive after traveling and just relax. The views are spectacular, we enjoyed the lake so very much. We spent a great deal of time fishing, the dock was very convenient, so nice to be able to leave our boat right outside the back door. The boat ramp was just a block away which was super easy to do as well. There was a small park at the boat ramp a block away and our younger children enjoyed playing and exploring as well. We particularly loved the outdoor/porch areas. They were spacious and cozy, offering plenty of room to relax and enjoy the views. In the kitchen, anything you would need to cook with was there. It was truly fully stocked, this was much appreciated for a family who likes to cook. The owners were quick to communicate and made us feel super welcome. We would definitely stay again, it was a wonderful vacation and stay.

Relaxing long weekend

This home was definitely the place to see a sunset! The host was wonderful and made sure we felt welcomed from beginning to end. It is near a public boat ramp/park/playground if you bring a boat.Everything you need can be found in the home. If you enjoy wildlife - we saw loads of turtles and birds some otters and what appears to be resident alligators making appearance morning and evening, sadly no fish to be caught from the dock.I will caution anyone with pet allergies this home had my allergies acting up, the cabinets and refrigerator had some used and expired stuff kind of giving the ick factor that it may not be cleaned after guests and also if you have a lower car you have to drive over a curb for parking.That being said- we would stay here again!
