Sandy was an excellent host, she was prompt to respond with any questions or concerns that we had. We had a meeting point to follow her to the property and give us a tour. The kitchen was very spacious and very well equipped including a keurig downstairs and upstairs along with a regular coffee pot, washer and dryer was a plus. We were a group of 16 people and had enough space for everyone! Thank you Sandy! Satisfied Texas girls Cristina Shorte

Great property. This was my 2nd stay here and I'll definitely be back again. Very secluded area of the river with beautiful views. We had a guys' weekend and we all had plenty of room and privacy, but this location would be great for 2-3 families as well. Great hosts with clear communication and timely response for any questions.

Great place for multiple families. We had 11 men gather for trout fishing on white river. Plenty of beds bathrooms and very nice kitchen. Also plenty of seating for eating or visitin. Great location for everything. Very private, but also close to town. Highly recommend this place for anyone. Host was very responsive and helpful. We will definitely be back.
