Very nice house, kitchen was great to work in. The back porch was great for relaxing. The outside property was awesome especially with the fire pit.We had a really nice quiet time.

I did not cancel on you, obviously someone in your family stayed. You are angry because after a last minute booking, I enforced my no refund policy when you wanted to cancel. All of my other guests have loved staying at Otters Way.
Very cozy, home offered just about anything you would need. The owners are very nice and very quick to respond to any questions. The large property and privacy was an added bonus. Would highly recommend this property and personally love to return.
It was a beautiful place for family members of all ages. We had a great time and seen the river otter of otters way. If given the chance to head back that way we will definitely stay again.

Ryan you and your family were fabulous guests! From leaving the campfire wood to leaving the house clean, I could not have asked for better guests! We loved hosting you and would love to have you back! Thanks for being wonderful guests!
This property was just what we needed for our family of 12 to get together and enjoy the weekend. The kids loved that they had room to run and play, the guys loved fishing, and just being able to sit and relax and enjoy our time together.
We hope to return!

Great home with tons of space. Perfect for our family of four and dog. Wonderful hosts made sure everything was taken care of so we could relax. Plenty of excursions around, but also no need to leave.

Mu wife and I (and dog) enjoyed an excellent weekend. The house was very clean and well stocked with everything we needed. The property is very quiet and serene with beautiful views. Host added many extra treats and bottled water and was extremely easy to work with and always accessible. The back porch has gas fireplace where we spent majority of time just chilling and relaxing. Highly recommend!!
