Host was great, very responsive. There were a few minor things that we were able to work around easily. Overall a super place with a great view
6 / 10Average·Jun 2023
The house was nice but getting down to the river with small children was not easy at all. You are basically walking down a cliff. The water is very nice once you get to it.
The kayaks were great and the accessibility of the boat ramp was convienent.
