Great piece of property. We loved the fire pit area which was nicely covered from the light rain by the trees.There was no air conditioning but the house exhaust/fan system really pulled a nice breeze!Large house with enough rooms/bedding for everyone and some. Everyone slept well and the beds were comfy!Nice little spot for kids to play too!

Great spot for a relaxing comfortable stay. Large and spacious, for large families, inside and out. Overlooks the river, but lots of steps to get down to it. Well supplied as far as needs, kitchen, bathrooms. Could use a general clean up, inside and on the grounds. But for the 12 female cousins, we were very happy, and given the opportunity, we would come back. Be aware, the road to the place, is a road, well maintained, unpaved road.

Family friendly house with all linens, kitchen items and extras you could need. Was great for our family vacation and the teens enjoyed the river access in the back. It did get very warm and sticky in the house during the day, although cooled down during the night. There is a half bath not pictured in the basement and a playset in the yard for younger kids.

We absolutely had the best time staying here. The house was very clean, and cozy. The owners are amazing with communication and had instructions for anything we could possibly think to ask for! Don’t forget to sigh the guest book, that was a very sweet touch to add. Hope to stay again in the future

The host was wonderful and communicated often, the home is large and so comfortable for larger groups. Location is prime time, close to everything and yet remote enough to feel private and secluded. We love this place! Thank you
