The property is located at the end of the road and is very private. The house has 2 master bedroom with full bath. It was spotlessly clean and very well equipment. The furniture was very comfortable and the bed was perfect. The backyard was perfect for just sitting and watching the river. We throughly enjoyed it and we will definitely re-book for next year. We loved everything

Sunrise and cocktail hour on the river

This accommodation exceeded our expectations. We could not have wanted a better place to hold our special galentine celebration. We got up early to watch the sunrises which were spectacular and we sat around a fire feature on the screen porch to have our cocktails. I wish we could have stayed more than four nights

Great Stay!

We visited in April. This is a great quiet spot on the river for relaxing, fishing, and visiting with family or friends. Two king bedrooms with attached baths are perfect for 2 couples. The open floor plan allows for visiting while cooking and the screened porch allows for a bug free relaxation area. Furry family members will love the fenced yard. The owner is super with communication.
