Absolutely stunning views overlooking the river. Was awesome to enjoy a cup of coffee on the deck and be away from the city. Very quiet and peaceful ,relaxing location.
This is a beautiful location and property. We loved our stay. It felt so homely and comfortable. My husband and our dogs stayed here and definitely want to stay here again. We would highly recommend this place.
We loved our stay everything was clean and easy to find the instruction book was easy to follow. We loved how you could just walk right down to water or just sit on deck and listen to the water running was perfect place to stay for the weekend
The location and home were just beautiful. Perfect for me and my two dogs. My dogs enjoyed the river right in the back yard and watching the squirrels through the big windows and glass doors. I enjoyed the comfy living room and eating out on the balcony. It was so easy and relaxing. The check in instructions were easy to follow.
