Liked: Communication, location
Disliked: Cleanliness
The property was beautiful. We appreciated the large house, dining area, living room and porch. However the house was very cluttered, dusty, and the pool table room was not usable. The location was perfect for us for visiting family and floating on the river. Communication with the owner was good. We had to use some bug killer for wolf spiders. Definitely not a place for everyone.

Great place to unplug!

The property is in a remote spot with beautiful scenery. We were only there for one night, so we didn't have a chance to explore. House was very clean, and stocked with everything you'd need to cook. There is a game room with a pool table and plenty of games to keep everyone entertained without WiFi. Highly recommend it!

Lovely Time

I am getting ready to take a big exam for work and needed a night away from the house and all my schoolwork to reboot and rest to be ready for the big test day. Being able to hang out at the house and relax and be unplugged was perfect. It’s a sweet little house. Very welcoming with beautiful surroundings. We will definitely hook again in the future!
