Beautiful/peaceful stay

My partner and I enjoyed staying at this location! It was definitely a getaway that was much needed and Heather and Chad provided everything that was needed while we were there. The sounds of the river, being surrounded by nature, and looking at the beautiful stars at night, were definitely breathtaking! The only thing that we noticed was that on the porch where the sauna is located, a couple of boards were a bit loose and just need to have more support on them. Overall we give this location a 10/10!

Pure serenity

This property is stunning. Every comfort you could imagine plus some! The river is shallower here which gives the wildlife a great place to cross :) If you want to get away from the busy and just relax, this is the place!

Peaceful perfection

Nothing else but the babbling of the river and chirps of the birds. Breath taking views right from the bed room window. Not to mention it looks like it was decorate by Joanna Gaines herself. A must stay 10/10!!

Couldn’t have asked for more..

This property was everything we hoped for and more. With all the amenities it offered, the rainy weekend didn’t phase us. The river that surrounds the property was spectacular. We will most certainly visit this property again!
