Great tiny home
Stayed here on a fishing trip. Perfect for 4 guys. Loved the water and outdoor power hookups for our boats. It’s small but comfy.

Nice tiny home
The overall appearance is great. Could use minor amenities, such as condiments in the fridge, a waffle maker or skillet. The water pressure in the kitchen and bathroom need help. The shower however surprised me and was good to at least get cleaned up. Air conditioning was sufficient in the living room and upstairs, but does not circulate into the main bedroom with the door closed. Great place to go fishing for crappie that's about 7 miles away. Pond to go kayaking in for the kids.
