If you want to use the patio awning, there is a metal rod ( on top of brick wall) that can be used to manually roll out awning. Outside there is a basketball hoop for a game of horse. Or grab the boards for a game of cornhole. If you’re into fishing bring your pole and fish from shore behind the property. (Please stay within the property’s property line.

Home inviting and comfy!

I am a person that i feel ask a lot of questions and Leon was friendly and helpful. Getting in the home was easy enough and the home was inviting and comfy. Everyone in my party appreciated the spotless cleanliness! We did not feel that we where intruding on someone else's place, we felt very much at home. We are already talking about our next trip here! Thanks to Leon and his team!

A little slice of peace and serenity!

A little slice of peace & serenity you are looking for! The home is clean, well kept and have many activities for you to do! The canal out back connects you to the river which makes it a perfect time for boating! Will be looking forward to our return trip!

Very clean house and great neighborhood!

We can’t say enough great things about this house. Very clean house, one of the best we’ve experienced. The neighborhood was amazing! So many fun things for the kids were included. Dart board, basketball goal, s’mores kit. They also provide the firewood which is great as most places charge for that. The kitchen had all the utensils and items needed to make meals. The kids loved the popcorn they left for us. Again such an amazing home, we highly recommend this air bnb!
