Nothin’ Fancy

MaeganRating, 5 stars3 weeks ago

Always love staying at John’s house when we visit my parents in Flora. Everything we need is right there, it’s walking distance to my parents’ house, and I’m not having to cram my family into a hotel! It’s truly the best. My kids LOVE “the rental house” and get so excited to pick the bed they will sleep in. Thanks, John!

Serenity at Fyke Hill

CollinRating, 5 stars1 week ago

Jason’s place was absolutely wonderful. Literally the best Airbnb experience I’ve had. He communicated clearly and in a timely manner. His place was spotless, full of amenities and just a pleasure to stay at - we felt right at home immediately. I cannot recommend a stay at his property enough. We hope to make it back there to soak up all the beautiful surroundings and solitude it had to offer.
