The house was amazing and the views and environment are unbelievable. Was very easy to communicate with the host and he was always very quick to respond with any answers I was looking for. This is our second time staying here and hopefully not my last.

This will be our fourth or fifth visit and it did not disappoint. The beauty of the home and outdoor space is spectacular.The weather allowed for deck dinning for most of the week along with a little snow so we enjoyed evenings by the fireplace. I think Housekeeping should be honored. This home has always been so clean and welcoming. We already miss the deck, the sound of the river and the ducks floating by.

Thank you so much for your continued trust in us. It truly means a lot that you have chosen to return four or five times and that the home continues to meet your expectations. We are so glad you were able to enjoy deck dining, a touch of snow, cozy evenings by the fireplace, and of course the peaceful river and visiting ducks. We also appreciate your kind words about our housekeeping team. We will be sure to share your compliments with them, as they work hard to make every stay feel clean, comfortable, and welcoming. We already look forward to welcoming you back again soon. Warmly, Adam One Properties
