8/10 Good
"Nice, safe place. Clean, but a little dated. Breakfast was sparse, but there every day (just 3 cereal choices, coffee, 2 bananas, small honey buns and white bread for toast). Nice microwave, fridge and t.v. Thin, few towels. No iron but loaned one when requested. Would stay again."

Yopp's Hideaway, farm stay near Lake Icaria on 26 acres, w/pond & animal visits.

10/10 Excellent
"The home was wonderful, the surroundings even better. It is such a peaceful location. Just sitting in the porch in the early morning listening to the birds and frogs makes the stay worthwhile. The owners are very helpful, friendly, and communicative. We enjoyed the amenities such as the outdoor patio, firepit, tvs, and griddle to name a few. And to think they have plans to continue to make improvements! We completely enjoyed our time there and truly hope we can go there again."

Charming 3-bedroom house in quiet residential neighborhood

10/10 Excellent
"This cute little house is just what Atlantic needed. My family stayed here over the days we needed to be back in Atlantic for my dad’s celebration of life and burial. It had everything we needed and it was so nice to be able to stay together as a family. Beds, towels, air conditioning, nice bathrooms, just everything was so very nice. Having grown up in Atlantic, it warms my heart to see this old house made nice again and being used for something Atlantic really needs."
