We needed a family getaway to relax and recover and this beautiful, clean and well equipped river house met every expectation, and some. Great views of the river from several areas outside and inside the house. Nice, solid, big deck and screened porch with gorgeous river views. There are stairs from the parking pad to the house and from the house down to the lake. House has really comfortable mattresses, soft towels, and extra pillows and blankets. Kitchen was well equipped, including dish soap, trash bags, condiments, coffee, etc. I read other's comments about buying the food before getting to the house. Glad we followed their advice. We overpacked, of course, but everyone had a great time. We rented a kayak from a company down the street (cash only), did some fishing, went hiking, ate smores and created new memories. Our pup waited patiently every morning for the goats to come by the neighbor's property so she could sneak out of the house, round them up, and send them right back across the street. She's our special fur baby who always makes sure our reflexes are top notch and we get our exercise in!
Neighborhood is very quiet. The winding road leading to the house, along the river, is paved, but narrow and about 10 miles long. If you get car sick easily, bring an extra puke bag. We expected our son to throw up, but it was our fur baby who did it. She truly is special.
Communication with Mike was great! Very responsive and accommodating. We had to call him when we arrived, around 9PM, to get the door code since we had no internet/phone service at the house. (fyi..there's T-Mobile service about 2 miles back and Mike'wifi works great!). Always take snapshots of access codes.
I highly recommend this house to anyone looking for some peace and quiet, a stunning view, or a place to connect with family and friends over smores and stories by the fire.
