Get outdoors

Listing and photos accurately describe accommodations. We were comfortable and satisfied. A nice rural location for perusing outdoor activities - fishing, hunting, boating, paddling, birdwatching. Good parking for a boat trailer.

Blackwater National Refuge

Property owner was great. He text to answer a question and proceeded to give advice on the fishing we were there to do.

Great retreat from it all!

My 14-year-old son and I booked this house for a last-minute, 4-day, get-back-to-nature trip centered around fishing. And we couldn't have found a better spot. Andy, the host, was as helpful and generous as could be with information and guidance, even arranging a fantastic night-fishing trip for us. The house is set up generously with kitchen, cleaning, and linen supplies, which made for simpler packing and much convenience during our stay. The property is totally comfortable and easy to manage, with laundry, WiFi & TV, lots of places to sit and eat. And the location of it in the nature refuge makes it feel like traveling to another world altogether. The pond next to the house was awesome for fishing, and there is lots to explore in the area for other nature experiences. We were excited to find the listing, and the reality of our trip was even better than we'd imagined it was going to be!

Great place to get away... from everything.

The property is best reviewed in four components: 1) The House. It's great for anyone who just wants to get away from the world. Simple. Clean. Has all the stuff in it you normally expect (linens, towels, forks, pots, pans, internet, etc.) The matresses could maybe stand an upgrade, but the water pressure is great and it even has a massage chair! The Property: It's unique. It's big. There are visiting sitka deer and other types of wildlife. Bring muck boots if you plan to wander beyond the driveway. The Pond: AWESOME! Fishing is what we were there to do. We caught more bass and snakehead in that pond than we did at any other area we visited. Hope it stays that way. The Commute to the Property: We weren't expecting the main roads leading to/from the house to be flooded ALL THE TIME. It seems to just be the way things are down there. Be prepared for 6-8" of standing water on the roads. It can catch you off guard, especially if you find out at night. OVERALL: I catch wait to bring my kids to this place. If you have littles you want to teach how to fish, or just want quiet quality time with family, this is a great spot for it.

Wonderful Stay!

House extremely clean on 12 acres near Blackwater Wildlife loop. Flooded roads made navigating challenging but nothing that couldn't be overcome. Rental of bikes and kayaks nearby.
