Please help us keep our home comfortable and welcoming for every guest by following these guidelines:
• Food debris — clean up food messes to avoid attracting critters.

Thank you again!" - "Beth's place is exactly what is advertised. A great modern, clean home with all the amenities. Because of the rain we weren't able to get out on the water because of flooding, but having the firepit, igloo and hot tub we didn't even miss it. We will definitely be back again!"

- "We had a great time at Beth's Place. Beth was quick to respond to questions and made the place comfy and welcoming. Everything was clean and exactly as described/pictured." - "Quiet, clean, and cozy. Great space on a beautiful property. Excellent communication, nicely furnished, and fully stocked with everything you may need." - "Everything was perfect. Clean, well kept, well maintained. Very tasteful decor with plenty of amenities. And thorough! They thought of everything. Everything we needed; with expectations exceeded even after reading all the positive reviews beforehand. Immediately, my husband and I had a sense of understanding of their values upon entering the property. Prideful people who truly care about providing a top quality experience. A true understanding and display of hospitality. With everything else booked for several miles they had every opportunity to “price gouge” if they chose. Instead?... A VERY reasonable rate. Plenty bang for your buck, to understate things. They checked in with us daily to see if we needed anything. Our children enjoyed the outdoors with kayaking, fishing, the hot tub, etc. It was the perfect mini vacation for our family. Thank you Beth and Jim for a wonderful stay, and for such high quality service that your personality shines through with it! See you again!"

Clean, Comfortable beds, large gathering area, would like to come back and enjoy the waterfront at a warmer time of year!"
