Wonderful Time on the Horseshoe

The house is amazing! Plenty of room for everyone and the game room is a lot of fun. The location is perfect for all river activities. We will definitely be booking this house again for next year!

This property is amazing. The house is beautiful and spacious. We stayed 6 nights with a large family group and never felt overcrowded. I have rented several homes in the area over the past 25 years, I can say without hesitation this house is the best one yet. Perfect location for floating the river or just sitting in the water people watching. The host was very friendly and accommodating. They definitely know how to take care of their guests. The pictures of this house although impressive, do not do it justice. We are already planning our next stay. I cannot thank Jack enough for sharing this property with us and Shannon for taking care of all of our needs during our stay.

Perfect location!

The house was great! Staying in the horseshoe and having that riverfront access was a great way to be able to enjoy the river and not have to float everyday. The view is beautiful and you can here the music from whitewater amphitheater echo through the river canyon. The house was very spacious and had just about everything you need when you get there. We had a great time and hope to go back next year!

Fantastic!!

A group of 16 of us stayed for a weekend to float the river, but never ended up leaving the house!! Why leave when you are in the perfect spot to just sit in the river and enjoy!! Beds were comfy, we didn't need anything because the house was so well stocked - we are already looking for a weekend to schedule for next year

Best House We've Ever Rented on VBRO

This house...AMAZING! Perfect location, extremely well stocked, clean and has the most amazing hidden feature that is not shown in the pictures or description. Maybe it's a new feature to the house, but our entire family -- age ranges from Grandparents in upper 60's to my niece that is 7 years old all enjoyed very much. The house looks exactly like the pictures. Right on the river, we brought our camp chairs down into the river and hung out in the afternoons. If you float the Horseshoe Loop -- you float right by the house, we all stopped for lunch on the way past. I would 100% stay here again and again -- and have already mentioned the house to multiple friends about trying to do a friends river trip in the future.

Great House

Had a group of 10 adults staying for 3 nights. We all really enjoyed the house. It had everything we needed, just needed a little extra tidying in some areas. Water was so cold on the horseshoe, but it didn't stop us from putting our feet in. Just know that if you want a float that's more than just the horseshoe, you've got to drive 5-10 minites to tubing outfitter on river road. We used Roy's both days that we floated. The only suggestions are to fix the fan in the upstairs double king room (it got stuffy in there), add a trash can to the game room and add a half bath to main or game room areas. Also, have the housekeeper check dressers and toss whats gets left (there were shorts on the 3rd floor deck and multiple clothing items left in the dresser - we left them where we found them).
