What a lovely place for relaxation. I knew we would enjoy it, based on the photos of the deck and river just outside, but we really ended up loving it. The owners have been remodeling the house over the last couple of years, and their care and quality shows.There was a minor issue with the furnace during our stay, and Jim came within the hour to take care of it. It seems to be a great fishing spot based on the fisher-peoples in the park across the river, and based on the birds!! We saw ospreys, pelicans, a bald eagle… and a bachelor group of ducks waddled through the yard every day to spend time on the river. It’s magical. We’d love to come back. Oh, there are also two sit on top kayaks! The river current was very strong during our stay, so be careful.

Yana & Jim are exceptional hosts!! Super friendly, responsive & happy to help with any questions or concerns. We are incredibly grateful they allowed all of our pups to stay with us - we bring them with us whenever we travel and it is hard to find places that will allow multiple "big" dogs (we have German Shepherds). The house was amazing - plenty of space for all of us. The bed was super comfortable. The view was spectacular - I loved being able to look out at the water and not see any other houses! The fire pit was fun too, the deck is huge. Being able to spend time outside and having it feel private & having a water view with immediate water access was critical for us. Our dogs really enjoyed being able to play in the water. Yes there are people fishing on the river but it was never a problem at all. Easy access to the house from the main road, but it didn't feel like you were in town at all. Over all an excellent place to stay. My only item on the wish list would be a fenced in area (6 foot tall - off of the side entrance by the kitchen/restroom area) for our dogs to go out and stretch their legs (and burn off some energy). Thank you Yana & Jim for an excellent place to stay with our pups for our anniversary!!
