Charming House

Property is as pictured, very secluded. Kitchen is well stocked and lots of little extra toiletries. Air conditioning and ceiling fans kept us cool even in the high 90s heat. Owner was immediately responsive to texts. It’s a neat old house but the light switches were a challenge to figure out. Our TMobile cell reception was very weak and intermittent but never stayed off for too long, but we meant to get away, right? We were disappointed by the road noise that carried to the screen porch-I should have noticed that on Google maps. Really disappointed to find a mouse had made a home in the BBQ grill. No steaks on the grill for us. Overall a good experience.

Nice place tucked away

Loved this place. Very unique. A little hard to find but that means you get to not be around people which is a nice change of scenery. Right on the river for kayaking. Would definitely stay here again. Appreciate Larkin even letting us check in early and stay a bit later because there were no other bookings at those times!

Good base for our fishing trip

This property was as advertised. We booked it for a weekend fishing on the river. The public boat launch is right around the corner. The property host was open and accepting of our large breed dogs, which was very appreciated.

We chose this place based on reviews and proximity to wedding venue. It looks like the pictures. Larkin was very friendly. We enjoyed games and coffee on the screened in porch. Enjoyed some time fishing.

Great Place to Relax

Cozy comfortable house on beautiful property. We spent everyday floating or kayaking in the river. Zoar park across the bank has walking trails, rope swing, and cool shallow water access for dogs and kids to play in. It is completely private from neighbors but there is a little bit of traffic noise. We did not even hear it after the first night we were enjoying ourselves so much. It is also very close to the grocery store. Overall a great place to relax and enjoy nature.

As described

Lots to unpack in this house, in a fun way. Clean comfortable and has everything one could need. Easy access to river where we caught plenty of fish. The few hours of low tide find the floating dock a bit angled but still useful - not a big deal at all. Kayaks were fun and in fine shape. Nearby traffic is white noise and cannot be heard from inside the house. Very private. We did not see another person our whole trip, perfect. Owner is very easy to get along with and attentive. Enjoyed by all especially the pooch.

Beautiful weekend Getaway

My stay was everything I was looking for. It was very quiet and peaceful and clean, my dogs sat with me on the doc while I fished and it was easy loading my kayak onto the river as well. I love that there is a variety of things to do such as board games, books to read, fishing and kayaking. I would most definitely stay again
