This area of the country is the most beautiful place I have ever been. The home is gorgeous, large, and the most gorgeous views ever. Alex was an amazing host. We can't wait to return next year! If you get the chance, run...don't walk...to stay at the Big House on the River. It is truly magical.
We had a great time at the Luxury Lodge. Our group enjoyed the scenic view of the mountains and river from the overlooking porch. The spacious indoors allowed room for everyone to hang out without being crowded. Good amount of available seating and rooms with space for kids and adults.The response of host/maintenence was great, one item needed addressing and they were out that day to fix. We had a great visit and look forward to coming back.
