Thank you Marina! We loved having you and your wonderful family, and we can’t wait for you to return in future summers.

We absolutely loved having you! Come back soon!

We loved having you--you were so polite and you left the place spotless. Thank you! And, too late for your stay, but we found the issue with the hot tub (faulty wiring) and now it's working. We hope to see you again soon!

Thank you for the nice review--we just loved having you. Your kids were amazing! How cool to encounter a seal!

Thank you for staying, and we hope to see you again soon :)

Thanks for the review. We're glad you found the house to be clean, and the deck/waterfront to be peaceful. The bird life is truly awesome, with osprey nesting across the river, great snowy egrets roosting along the shore, and kingfishers darting along the river. Stunning. We even have otters swimming along our shores. To help the next guest, I'll explain the hot tub set-up in this reply. There is a deck light that lights up the entire upper deck (light switch to the right of the slider), which throws ambiant light for the hot tub on the lower deck so that the light does not distract too much from the radiance of the nighttime sky. In fact, we find that most people prefer leaving the deck light off entirely to enhance the nighttime experience. The hot tub is large and inviting--a perfect spot to listen to the wind through the trees, and watch birds and the abundant fireflies in summer. By design, this is a no-frills Arctic Spa that does not have a stereo system or a light show because that is just not the vibe we're after. Use Pump 1 for the amount of desired bubbles: Off (no bubbles); Blinking Arrow (light bubbles); Solid Arrow (high-powered jets). This info is also included in the instruction booklet. As for the tidal river: The water ebbs and flows, as tides are known to do, keeping the water fresh and always moving in a gentle flow. However, the wind speed can affect the amount of effort needed for canoeing and kayaking. For this reason, it's often best to go for a paddle in the morning or late afternoon hours, when the river is glassy. The life vests are in the garage.

Thanks so much for taking the time to write such a nice review. Hope to see you again soon!
