Wow. Almost don't want to tell people about this hidden gem. The photos were fantastic but I gasped when entering the property. Absolutely stunning. So clean and so well stocked. Honestly didn't need to bring anything but clothes and food. It's a short drive to the crater of diamonds and we played in the river all weekend. The fireflies we're insane. We saw and heard all kinds of birds and frogs, plus lots of deer. Some how we didn't get bit by any mosquitoes. I wish I would of booked a full week. Thanks again for letting us create memories and relax in your beautiful rental. We will be back
