This was an absolutely idyllic location! It felt like we were staying in a protected forest. So beautiful and peaceful. The river was a key hang out spot for us whether fishing in the water, reading on the beach, hanging in the hot tub or enjoying the fire pit. The house was very spacious and great lay out.This will become a go to spot!

Beautiful Property!

This is a beautiful place, right on the river but in a secluded area. One of the best parts about our stay was having private access to some amazing trails and waterfalls. The house is very nice, and the property owner was extremely responsive to all of our questions. We would definitely stay here again.

Perfect Location

We wanted a place where we could fly fish, hike and see waterfalls without the huge crowds. This house was perfect for us. The hiking from the house was full of adventure, and we saw beautiful waterfalls pictured. The house was more than enough room for our family of five.
Another beautiful spot that was hikable from the house.
Beautiful and all to ourselves.
This was part of the hike we took to see one of the waterfalls.
My husband and two boys enjoyed fly fishing on the creek right outside of the house. They also loved the sauna to warm up after wading in the creek.
