Beautiful property on the river. Exceptionally welcoming view in the morning. Convenient to walk downtown across the pedestrian bridge for an amazing cup of coffee at Aroma’s. Will entertain staying here again on future visits.

We came August 3rd to 4th and wish we could stay longer. It’s absolutely beautiful. We seen a hawk go after a nest and several birds cawing loudly, finally it flew up and about 8 of them went after it! Pretty cool to see. Also lots of ducks swimming up river and then floating down, also very cool. Everything is brand new and very clean, fire pit is awesome! Jay is an Awesome host and we will be back!The Andersen’s
