Anne’s spot is amazing. The view of the river (& sunrises & sunsets) is spectacular. The kitchen has everything you need. The side porch was also a great place to sit & look out at the river. Communication with Anne, the check in process, and check out directions all went smoothly.Definitely would recommend this spot to others!
