Fantastic location for a summer vacation for our family and dog. We had lots of space to sleep, eat and relax. The beach access to the river was perfect for us. We enjoyed time swimming and kayaking.

We had a great time. The house had character. Jessica was very accessible to communicate with. The views were to die for from the back porch and upstairs bedroom. The sunrise would light up the room. It's rustic and it's a fun house to be in
