A fantastic place to stay

The first thing you need do when you get the property is take in the view of the river. The house has plenty of space, well stock in everyday needs just in case you forgot to pack something. Will be staying here again

Great place for large families

The space was great, it allowed our large family to sleep comfortably and gather for dinner on the patio or for card games around the dining table. It was pretty well equipped with all that we needed in the kitchen. The river view and access was great, the older kids really enjoyed it. We had a great stay.

Great still, will be back

Everything was smooth from communication to the stay. There was one little hiccup with a damaged vacuum cleaner but I was able to work with the owners and resolve the issue. Great overall experience

My Wedding was Beautiful

Prior to our stay we asked about some trees/bushes being cut down and they went above and beyond to make sure everything was perfect! The house was beautiful and plenty of things were already provided at the house which made it VERY easy for my out of state family/friends flying in. We would easily rent it out again just for a fun weekend ! Thank you so much

Thanksgiving!

The house was perfect for exactly what my vision was for my grandson who is going to the process of cancer and family has not been together. The house was big very spacious. Had everything that we would possibly need to have our wonderful Thanksgiving dinner we enjoyed watching the river having a campfire and hot tubbing. It was wonderful thank you

Family Reunion

It was wonderful! The location is beautiful and the common spaces are large enough for big groups to gather together. The second refrigerator was was a big plus - unexpected bonus. We did bring some folding chairs from home so we could get everyone around the table for a sit down dinner. The owner's were wonderful and extremely responsive to questions (like where is the wifi password?). We have no regrets about this place and only wish we could have stayed longer!

Girl’s weekend getaway

This house has a great layout. Was cute and cozy. Lots of rooms and open areas. Each room was nice decor. River access was great. Great place to relax and lounge in the river. Decent back deck off the kitchen to hang out at. The house wasn’t as clean as we’d hope for the price we paid. But I communicated our concerns to the host and she appreciated the feedback. The host was great to work with too! Responded back in a timely manner. My group had lots of fun at this house. Stores were only 15-20min away.

Amazing experience

We had a family vacation with 16 people including grandparents, parents, and children ages 6-16. The property was perfect! The house had enough space and different types of spaces for all the different types of people. The property provided beautiful scenery, nature exploration, relaxation in the hot tub and sauna, and outdoor and indoor space for games, running around, and playing. We even hosted a larger dinner one night and the property easily accommodated all of our guests including a guest in a wheelchair. Robin was always immediately responsive to all of our questions and even sent out an electrician quickly when some outlets were not working. She was friendly, helpful, and understanding in all of our communications. We hope to visit again!

4 stars? Shocked to see that heartbreaking rate even after we paid you $500. Such a shame.
