The house is well appointed with a great view, great porch, nice furnishings and plenty of outdoor space for kids to run around (something unique in this area where most places with a view are literally hanging off a bluff.)

Came in late July with a group of 8 (5 adults, (2) eight year olds, and a four year old) to celebrate one of the eight year olds birthdays. Arrived on Friday afternoon and the kids immediately started playing football, baggo and other games in the front yard. Strung up a hammock between some pine trees and enjoyed the wonderful view from the front porch.

I was a little confused in the pictures of the houses layout with multiple dining spaces but it worked out perfect. The kids at in the kitchen at the table and bar there and the adults enjoyed the view from the nice table in the dining room.

We drove an hour on Saturday and floated from Grinders Ferry to Gilbert, with a mandatory stop at Coursey's to get some smoked meat and cheese. Cooked some steaks on the charcoal grill and then made s'mores back by the fire ring.

On Sunday we woke up and watched the fog lift out of the valley, then headed over to Lost Valley to hike the trails.

The daily visits from the neighboring cows and dog, and catching lightning bugs where also highlights for the kids.
