Travel tips
Plan arrival around the stated check-in time of 4:00 p.m. CT (earlier only if coordinated) and check-out at 10:00 a.m. CT. If you rely on ice, guests recommend bringing your own due to limited ice-maker output. For boating logistics, the home is under 1 mile from Bakers Landing and Thomas Mill Creek boat ramp, and propane refills (if needed) can be done at Thomas Landing about 1 mile up the road.
What guests say
Reviews consistently highlight a very clean, well-kept home with the essentials guests expect for a comfortable stay. The layout is praised for spacious bedrooms and a separate bunk area that works well for kids, along with a large living area and kitchen. The deepwater dock is a standout feature, with guests noting it suits larger boats and is convenient on a protected inlet. A minor recurring caution is limited ice production from the ice maker, so guests suggest bringing ice.
