Great spot for a relaxing getaway. Comfortable and well-equipped. Mornings and evenings spent on the deck enjoying the birds and the view. Deer out front in the morning. Great spot for the family to enjoy time together with easy day trips to hiking and sightseeing.

The property was beautiful and clean
6.0 / 10.0Average·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.
