We thoroughly enjoyed our stay with Dennis and Jim. Our accommodations were comfortable and clean. Dennis's breakfasts were scrumptious and were made complete with Jim's hospitality and kitchen support! The patio in the back overlooking the river looks just like the pictures, and we enjoyed several evenings watching the wildlife. Great conversations with the hosts and other guests. We would absolutely stay again!
