Great House—Convenient Location
On the whole the accommodations were good and management was quick to respond to a tripped circuit. There were a few things that would be an improvement. Specifically, in a three bath/four bedroom home more than one hairdryer would have been appreciated. Additionally, bathmaths outside the showers and bathtubs are essential to assure safety. Finally, while there appeared to be a few leftover condiment such as salt and pepper the provision of a few basic spices and cooking oils would have been a welcomed addition along with a salt shaker to accompany the pepper shaker.

Family friendly vacation spot
We traveled from Minnesota to attend our son's wedding. We brought family and friends and everyone had their own space. Sitting around the firepit and enjoying the beautiful view of the river was a favorite activity. The beds were very comfortable. It is a great place for a big family to get together and relax.

Lovely home, great setting.
We enjoyed this lovely home immensely. There were eight adults (3 generations) and we spent a good deal of time in the home. The house was well appointed, beds were comfortable, the house was clean. There was plenty of space for everyone. We ate half of our meals at “home” which made for a relaxing, inexpensive visit. We all departed saying we hope to return next year. Thank you for sharing your home.
