Home was very clean and well appointed with all necessary items for a comfortable stay. Host was super and went above and beyond to be helpful ... from helping with a rescheduling due to the flu to helping us retrieve my grandson's favorite stuffed animal that got left behind in the bed!!

Perfect for a weekend getaway

We LOVED this place! Clean, quiet, peaceful, and roomy. The best part is the little thoughtful amenities, like sleeping masks. There were little things like that all over the place so you can tell that the owner really cares about their renters. We wil definitely be back!

Fantastic house!

The house has everything you'll need. And then some. My kids absolutely loved learning to kayak and fish and use a record player. We hung out and played card games and yard games. We rocked out to The Beach Boys and AC/DC. Toiletries were provided (even makeup remover!). My kids cried when we left and said they wanted to move there. Thanks for the lovely stay, Katie!

Our favorite place to stay so far

We really enjoyed staying here! Very nice home with an awesome location and super peaceful. I loved that I was able to fish from the house or take a kayak down the river..Out of all the vacation rentals we’ve stayed in, this is the coolest place! Thanks again for the great communication and beautiful property!

Something for everyone

We all had a great time and truly enjoyed our stay. It rained 2 of the 5 days we were there, but there was plenty of covered area for parking and outdoor chilling. Even thought it was cold, we lit a fire in the chimenia and enjoyed the cool night. The place was large enough for the 4 of us, plenty of space! One son-n-law came over by boat and the other enjoyed fishing from the dock. Everyone tried out and enjoyed the massage chair! Great addition. A great time was had by all!

LA Renaissance Festival

We came down to go to the renfaire. This place was perfect for our two night stay. It was very clean and had everything we needed. Some really great eating places very close by. The only negative is it is not really set up for young kids. My daughter just about had a heart attack when she saw we were basically over water and there was no gaurdrail to stop her 3 year old from falling in. Wasn't an issue for us since we were not there for an extended stay. I loved the location and would go again.

About the host

Hosted by Katie

Host profile image
My husband Frank and myself purchased this property and fell in love with the area but we have 3 dogs who needed a yard so we purchased our forever home and are providing this home as a vacation rental to others. Buddy's Place is named after our chocolate lab who loves the water, like any retriever.

Why they chose this property

This house is located near Warsaw Bar & Grill (you have to try their Monday night steak night!). The property is minutes from Blood River Landing the event headquarters for the Tickfaw 200!

What makes this property unique

People love how this property is close to all the fun things happening on the Tickfaw River & Lake Maurepas, yet being located in a quiet area. There's something about sitting outside on a rocker late in the evening and just looking at the water that is so calming.
