Summary: Love the property. This is our second stay here. Everyone loved the dock, fire pit area and large dining table. We fished, swam, roasted marshmallows and played dominoes. It was great!

Summary: There was about 12 of us that stayed over memorial day weekend for several birthdays and to celebrate the holiday. We had a great time! There was plenty of room for everyone, multiple refrigerators to store drinks and food and a fully functional kitchen with lots of counter space and cooking equipment. We even had room to bring our crawfish boilers and do a small crawfish boil.We were also able to bring our boats and park them on the dock with plenty of room for 3 - 22ft.The only negative I would say is some of the mattresses could be changed as my husband and I sunk in the middle and we had some tall people with us that didn't quite fit the double beds, so maybe some queen beds would be helpful.

Summary: This was a great place for a big group of friends to stay at for a long weekend. Right on the water which we really enjoyed and it was private with plenty of parking for our large group. Host was prompt and kind. Thanks!

Summary: Our time at DandeLion Lodge was exceptional! Our group found everything to be readily available and accessible! We would definitely recommend this to others and come again ourselves. Some spent more time at the pier than the house as they are anglers to the core! :) The view and spaciousness of the house was just phenomenal for a group of 12 adults. We were highly impressed and blessed to spend time bonding, relaxing and being refreshed in your home!

Summary: They were great hosts. It was a tough time because we were going to a funeral in Mobile. We were drained emotionally. Staying there and on the river was very helpful In getting through. The whole family loved it.

Summary: What a gorgeous spot to hang out! Charming, historic home, quiet, water-side setting. I think we’ll be coming back next year—next time we’ll allocate less time on the golf course and more time here.
