Summary: This home is all about the creek. Absolutely gorgeous water behind the home perfect for the kids to play and fish. We did s’mores in the firepit and the hammock was lovely. Would love to come back in the summer. Pool table and games in the basement were great too. The only downside is that the furnishings overall were pretty worse for wear and the interior spaces need a deep clean (found other peoples trash in the couch cushion). May not be an issue for some but for us that part wasn’t ideal.
