nice property overall. Ability to clean fish was very nice. Property has stairs which was mentioned clearly and not a big deal for our group but may be for others. Convenient to bait shop, overall very good.

This was a great house in a great location. The view of the river was great, and the short drive to Lansing's shops was helpful. John and Jane were great hosts. They were very responsive to requests and proactive in making sure we were taken care of as guests. We would stay here again.
