Great house

Beautiful and spacious property. We used this for our rehearsal dinner, pre-wedding pictures, bridal suite, etc. it had plenty of room for out of town family and friends. The kids appreciated the outside area and game room. The upstairs rooms were a little warm at night, could use a few fans! Plenty of space and utensils in kitchen. Enough towels and blankets. Great location on the river! Elvin is responsive and kind. The Clark Family appreciates you letting us use your wonderful home!

Great weekend getaway

We had a great time at the river house. Beautiful setting on the river, plenty of space, and lots to do. The covered outdoors area, fire pit, grill, pickleball / shuffle board court, and wide open back yard made it easy to spend most of our time having fun outside. Definitely recommend!

Lovely property, could use a few updates

The property was beautiful and it was interesting to stay in a home with so much history. The interior had a problem with black flies in the kitchen and the upstairs bathrooms felt very dated. The location was perfect for a family wedding.

Country Charmer

This property is fantastic and in a great location. The house is well kept and the surrounding property is beautiful. The inside of the home is very spacious with plenty of room for everyone. There are 2.5 bathrooms and they are adequate for a larger crowd. Communication with the owner was super simple and he is very nice. My family loved our stay and would love to visit again in the future!

Farm House

We had a really great stay at this location. It was easy to get to and close to town but had a country feel. The kitchen is huge and the bedrooms plentiful. It was the perfect location for us to attend our nieces wedding at a local vineyard
