Summary: Kathryn and Ron were so kind and welcoming. We had a wonderful stay, felt right at home! The screened in porch, nature sounds and the view were awesome. When we were not visiting close by beaches we were enjoying that porch! Can’t wait to visit again!

Summary: What a great weekend. The property was set up as the center home was the lodge and there were 2 super clean cabins on either side. There were walkways to the center home/lodge with beautiful landscaping and many places to sit and relax, enjoy the hammocks, decks off the water...etc. Kathryn and Ron were the absolute best host and hostess we have encountered on our travels. If you are looking for a relaxing time this is the place. Ron took us out on his Carolina skiff and showed us around all the swampy areas and hidden lakes, he was an excellent tour guild. We also canoed and enjoyed the sandy beaches along the way. Kathryn prepared an excellent breakfast for us every morning and we had bon fires in the evenings. We will be back later on in the year.

Summary: Karthyn and Ron were the absolute best!!! They were so welcoming and accommodating. They served a very delicious breakfast every morning. We plan on returning in the fall, so we can use the fireplace. We had a wonderful time and made new friends. Lisa and Wayne Hughes

Summary: Ron and Kathryn are truly wonderful host! They made us feel welcome and comfortable the whole trip! Their sweet dogs, Ann and Bodhi, were the best! Breakfast made by Kathryn was unbelievably good!! Ron was very knowledgeable about the water and it's history- great boat tour! It was one of the best weekend getaway's with great friends that we have had in a long time! We traveled to Destin one day and PCB another day, the drive was not bad for either! We were secluded on the river but still close enough to all the beaches!! We will definitely be returning and would highly recommend anyone looking to stay here as well

Kimberly K. Aug 2, 2018 09:20:17 PM
Summary: Ron and Kathryn are the best! They are friendly, kind and really made our stay wonderful. The house is beautiful and the grounds and views are just amazing. I loved the lighting under the house and on the trees. The breakfasts Kathryn made us were to notch and we were surprised at everything that was offered. We had fun on the boat with Ron. I loved chatting with them about their experiences. I loved the location because it felt like a real vacation getaway. It was close to Panama Beach and dog races. There are so many things to do within a 30 minute drive away. We had peace and quiet when we needed it and chose when to be surrounded by people and that made it so enjoyable. The house is beautifully decorated, clean and very well maintained. We are definitely looking forward to our return. This is a place we would like to return to for years to come!
Reamer A. Jul 9, 2018 10:22:12 AM
Summary: Ron and Kathryn where such amazing host! They where super friendly and very gracious. The food was wonderful each morning and the main home dining area was beautiful. It had an amazing view of the river and the old live oaks. Very peaceful and relaxing. A great place to get away from the hustle and bustle and just relax. The kids loved the boat ride on the river and looking at the wild life. Would highly recommend! -Reamer
