Our 2nd Stay and Im sure we'll be back
Amazing stay, thank you Evan. Our 2nd time here and I’m sure we’ll be back. Dogs loved it and we had a fabulous time walking, fishing and enjoying the beautiful scenery. Can’t wait to visit again.

Thank you Evan. Peace, quiet and tranquility (except for those few fighter jets). If you ever sell the place, give us a call…

Such an amazing place!
Was not prepared for the river but Evan taught me well and it only got easier as it dropped every day. More rain due so having to leave a day early but I’ll definitely be back again. Evan was a true gent, thoroughly enjoyed chatting to him and finding out the history of the place. He went above and beyond to ensure our stay was good. Thank you so much.
