The proximity to town was absolutely perfect. We didn’t take our cars unless we were going to the other end. The host was responsive and being on the river was great. We had family that couldn’t tube but they were still able to see those that did. Only complaint is the microwave is not made to be mounted over the stove, (there’s a full size cabinet above it) and if you actually cook (we did) you can’t stir pots in the back, nor do large pots even fit back there, because there is no clearance. Get a countertop microwave and a hood for that area. We spent the majority of the time on the deck and on the swing. Would stay here again. Beds were comfy!
