The backyard also includes a large fire pit (BYO firewood), which is perfect for roasting marshmallows with friends and family. After a long day of skiing or hiking, relax and unwind in our hot tub. In the morning, enjoy a hot coffee from our riverside lounge chairs and wave to the kayakers floating by!

I chose this rental primarily for two reasons - the fabulous view and the large table for playing games. The house is very well equipped. Kitchen has a lot of supplies, some spices and coffee supplies, NICE plates and glasses, etc. They have towels handy by the patio door for hot tub users.Scott is, hands down, the most responsive VRBO host I've ever had. He was proactive, checking how we were doing on the first day. He responded quickly to texts.The main down side for us was the cramped bathrooms. But you don't spend much time there. All the other rooms felt quite spacious.

Loved waking up to mountain and river view, loved that the backyard was set up to relax and enjoy for everyone. The adults were able to relax in the hot tub and could keep an eye on the kids making s'mores at the fire pit. The host was amazing at communicating before, during, and even sent a nice "thank you" after. Would definitely stay again, next time we're in the area

Relaxing environment and breathtaking views

The property is located in a quiet neighborhood. The interior is cutely decorated and clean. The backyard is spacious and has an absolutely incredible view of the nearby river and mountains. You can catch the view from the living room, from one of the seats in the backyard, or from the hot tub. My friends and I had a lovely and relaxing weekend. We would recommend the property to anyone.

Such a sweet spot on the river

My friend and I had such a lovely and restful stay at your beautiful home. Thank you so much for sharing it. The house was not only incredibly cozy and thoughtfully decorated, but it also felt so well cared for, which made settling in feel effortless... and the hot tub was sooo nice! Everything was clean and tidy, and it’s clear how much love and attention you’ve put into creating a welcoming space.There were just a couple of stray hairs on the bed in the river-facing room, but I easily found fresh linens in the drawer, which made it a quick and simple fix. Truly not a big deal at all. I appreciated having everything I needed on hand!Overall, it was such a peaceful and comfortable experience. Thank you again!

Overall we had a wonderful stay at the “Little River” house! For our family, the best part of the property was the backyard. The view of and access to the river was so beautiful and peaceful. We couldn’t get enough of it! Backyard is fully equipped with a gorgeous new hot tub (even had speakers with blue tooth capability), nice new chairs, a fire pit and yard games. We had a blast playing corn hole with our adult kids and smores by the fire each night. Only thing missing was a cover for the gazebo. The house is also in close proximity to hiking trails and we had a great hike at Wallace Falls State Park one day just a 15 minute drive away. The house was very clean when we arrived. (Only exception was the grill which we had to clean in order to feel comfortable using). Little River house has a nice open layout and big dining table - great for board games and family meals. Kitchen could use some updating with certain items for cooking as well as enough dishes but nothing that we couldn’t figure out by being creative. Our host was very responsive to our questions and a good communicator. Check-in was simple and efficient. We would rent from this host again!
