We stayed with our family of 4+ an additional family of four, and our little dog. This was an absolutely lovely place to stay… The view of the mountains gazing across the river on site are unparalleled. Just spent a ton of time on the deck, just gazing out at them. Everything is very well organized and whatever isn’t already in the house you can easily get at the nearby grocery stores or Sunday farmers market. We loved her stay and can’t wait to return.
