This is one of our favorite spots on the river. The house is perfect for a family. The porch and decks give multiple ways to enjoy a beautiful view. The fishing from the bank is great and you are close to so much. We will definitely be back.

House was clean and had needed essentials for our stay. We were there to fish, so only needed basics of clean bed and baths, coffee and close to river. Would recommend.
