Great spring weekend getaway!

We stay at a lot of nice VRBO houses, and this was among our favorites. The fishing and kayaking right from the dock are great activities. And the house is well maintained and functional, plus spacious with great views. Lisa is easy to communicate with and super nice. We hope to be back!

Beautiful peaceful place!

I cannot say enough about this wonderful rental. Truly we stay in many wonderful VRBO rentals, but this was one of the best! Started and ended our days on the back porch with its fabulous (peaceful) river view. In between had easy access to wherever we wanted/needed to go thus excellent location. House has so many extra touches; wine cooler, ice maker, air pump (for pool floats), kayaks, fishing poles...whatever one needed seemed to be there. The lovely surroundings (front and back) added to the comfortable and welcoming feel of this exquisite home. You can't go wrong with a stay at Moon River House.

Great home! Perfect location! That view 😍!

Lisa was awesome! The home was stocked with many extras like hand soap at every sink, dishwasher detergent, laundry pods, paper towels and napkins etc… which made settling in to the very comfy home that much easier! The kitchen was well stocked with nice pots and pans, serving platters and also condiments that you typically don’t get in a home rental. We cooked all meals at home. Very comfortable beds too. Would definitely recommend and stay there again!
