Beautiful place! We had a blast playing pickleball and enjoyed the porch/hot tub as well. Clean and well stocked. The owner was easy to communicate with. The river was right there and we enjoyed exploring it. We will be back again. Thank you !!

Most of our free time is spent walking down the river and nature trail, fishing, playing pickleball or ping pong, and relaxing beside a campfire. We love to get to know people and help in any way we can. We believe God has blessed us with a beautiful place to live and we want to use it to host people well.
