Really cozy & well kept home. Unfortunately water table too low to put in kayak at house, but dock great to sit on & chill. Deck is terrific—has covered & uncovered sections which is really sweet. Easy drive to excellent hiking. All amenities also easy access by car.

The trout river house is great! Has everything you need to have a great weekend and relax. There’s lots to do around the area but we didn’t feel the need to explore much since we were so comfy at the house. Justin was great to work with through the whole process!

An absolutely wonderful place to stay. Communication with Justin was great. the cottage was very clean and cool as the temperature outdoors was 90 plus. The beds are comfortable and the big shower was delightful. Being at the end of July, the river was low but the view is fantastic. A blue heron came each evening to feed. Location to many hikes,etc is a bonus. Would definitely return to this place. Thank you for sharing your lovely home.

Home was very clean. Kitchen was well stocked. I did not use the kayaks, but did you use the canoe which worked out wellIf you’re going to stay there, I’d suggest bringing a pair of binoculars. Saw one bald eagle there’s several kingfishers and some other nice birds in the little small pond area behind the homeOverall, I rate it an excellent property.

We had a fun filled, rain with sun and rainbows weekend! Beautiful lawn for kids and dog to play. Loved the cover porch for games and meal time. The beds were cozy and had everything we needed. Close to good fishing spots and hiked nearby in the fall foliage. Fire pit was nice at night!

Great property

The property was really nice. Waterfront was great, having the use of kayaks and canoe was great, the house and amenities were really nice, and everything was so clean. One of the surprising things this time around for us was there really weren’t any chores to do before we left which was a nice change from previous rental we have been too. The property owner was very responsive. Great relaxing stay!

Me and my family had a great experience staying there. The river behind the house was really fun activity for all of us and especially for my nieces. There was kayaks and canoes available for us to use so we didn’t have to go anywhere to do an activity. The home was clean and cozy I would definitely love to rent it soon again. Great views the house had everything quiet and peaceful.

Weekend fly fishing getaway

We had a nice time at the trout river house. The backyard is great for doggos and outdoor activities! The area was quiet and check-in was seamless. There are 2 window style air conditioning units but one is in the bedroom with bunk beds and the other in the kitchen so the other 2 bedrooms can get warm with the door closed. We will be back!

Great stay

House and property were beautiful ! We had a plumbing issue and it was addressed immediately . The sliding glass door is difficult to open and close . The kayaks were hard to take out and it was very muddy and shallow .( I think because we are only in April !) I’m sure it’s a lot easier in the summer ! But once in and got going we caught a fish !

Great place with great times

The house was very accessible and check in was easy. The interior was very clean with some local brochures to help guide you while on your stay. I recommend the hotel/Inn just in town very interesting with some great eats. We had a small issue with a propane tank and Justin was there to help on the spot. I highly recommend this spot on any fishing getaway or just a small family get away from the hustle. Bald eagles just outside your door every morning is a great reminder of how great nature can be. Thanks again for the great memories.
