Beautiful area. My husband fished right off the boat while i enjoyed my book and nature. Jesse and Kelly were amazing hosts. Jessica took us to the boat upon arrival which was greatly appreciated. We met Dave when the weather sirens went off ensuring everyone's safety. Great place!!

Anniversary weekend
Something different than just another hotel, very cozy and nice. Property manager was very welcoming and communicative. Nicely decorated. Definitely used the bath house over the boat. And it was nice. We were early in the season, so it was very quiet, which was perfect for us. When it becomes busier, it might feel a little “crowded” being so close to another boat. Overall it was pleasant and we will definitely stay again. There was plenty to do and see within an hour drive in any direction.

Awesome weekend getaway!
My boyfriend and I stayed on the Driftwood on a weekend getaway. We had such an enjoyable time! So relaxing sitting outside and taking in the views. We also saw the tugboat come in and leave the dock which was pretty neat! We are already planning on coming back next year!
