Great place to stay. We have been staying in VRBO’s for years traveling for our family Fall Breaks. This one is my favorite. Clean and plenty to do. 2 miles down a dirt road and right on the river. Very short drive to town. We will be coming back for sure.

Beautiful location, loved the river view (sight and sound). The lower patio was a mess due to duck droppings all over the chairs, table, and floor. The house interior was acceptably clean though.We had great weather and a load of fun white water rafting, thanks!

Hi Rick, we are glad you enjoyed your stay. We were there the morning prior to your arrival and I had washed away the Martin droppings, or so I thought. I must have missed some. They are such cute birds but they do make a mess.

The home was very comfortable, spacious & very well maintained. Beds were comfortable as was all the other furnishings. Kitchen was immaculate and well stocked with dishes, pots/pans & other kitchen essentials. The balcony looking out over the river was our favorite spot. Will be back, hopefully when we can enjoy the kayaks & outdoor fire pit more since it was rainy during our stay.
