This is a house, not a resort. The house was clean and relatively comfortable and well-equipped. It was centrally located, close to the trout dock and river, and close to numerous restaurants.However, the house smelled musty and off-putting which did not go away during our stay. Also, I resent not being able to locate the house (no address given) before booking and I resent the online photos not showing the outside of the house. The cost of this house was outrageous given our expectations versus what we actually got. We do not recommend this place and will not return.
