Space & sleeping setup
The home is a 3-bedroom, 2-bath layout with fresh linens provided and refinished hardwood floors. Bedroom 1 has a queen bed, a 60" Roku TV, a walk-in closet, and an attached bath with a double-sink vanity and rounded bathtub. Bedroom 2 has a queen bed; Bedroom 3 has two twin beds (and no overhead light).
Kitchen, laundry & in-home amenities

Other in-home essentials include air conditioning, heating, a washer, cable TV, and free Wi‑Fi, along with a patio. The host supplies a starter kit (shampoo, body wash, dish and hand soap, laundry detergent, paper goods, trash bags, and coffee).
Parking, boats & outdoor features
Parking is a key feature: a large gravel area beside the house can accommodate many vehicles, including up to five truck/boat combinations, plus free street parking. With prior approval (and only when it hasn’t rained), parking may also be permitted inside the fenced backyard on the grass. Boaters also have access to a charge pack at the back of the home.
Nearby area & dining
The home is minutes from UNA and Downtown Florence, and it’s close to local outdoor and recreation draws including McFarland Park and Wilson Dam. For quick meals nearby, Taco Bell is about 685 m away; MK Wings is about 387 m away; North Wood Social is about 970 m away. Additional nearby options include Wildwood Tavern and The Chicago Cafe (about 2,575 m), plus fast-food stops like Whataburger (about 3,123 m) and Cook Out (about 3,207 m).
Best for
This property best suits boating and fishing travelers, RV/large-vehicle drivers, and groups who need unusually generous parking—up to five truck/boat combos—plus a fenced yard and a boater charge pack. It’s also a strong fit for UNA or Downtown Florence visits thanks to its short drive times (about 1 mile to UNA campus and Downtown). Pet owners traveling with dogs can work well here when they obtain approval and confirm breed/number for the pet fee.
Travel tips
Confirm booking details promptly after requesting to book, including total guest count and any pets (dogs only; fees vary by breed and number, and unapproved animals can trigger a significant fine and cancellation). Standard check-in is 3:30 pm (Sunday check-in is 5:30 pm or later) and checkout is 11:00 am. If arriving with a boat/RV, plan to use the large gravel pad; backyard parking requires prior approval and is weather-dependent.
