Thank you Jerry for your kind hospitality. Everything was perfect for our one night stay on 13 April 2024. Your offer of water & electricity made the stay so convenient. We took your advice and visited Bass Pro - truly amazing experience ! We hoped to thank you before leaving, but it was so early we did not want to disturb you. We never got to meet Mrs. Milligan, but we wish her a speedy recovery. Thanks again.

Perfect stop, very nice gentleman. Large driveway, in the nature, but close to town and the famous buc'ees. Highly recommend.
