Absolutely wonderful home!! We loved staying at this property! Excellent communication with the host - very prompt with replies. My 3 boys loved the house and it provided plenty of room for them to spread out. We cannot say enough about the amount of amenities that are supplied! The kitchen has everything you need and there are kayaks, a grill, and fishing supplies. The entertainment "center" under the covered carport has so many options! We would love to stay here again. Very clean as well and the best part is we were able to bring our dog! Thank you!!

Another great Stay at the SRR. We wish the propane grill was larger. But we are a large group. Great kitchen with all the right gear.

This is our 4th stay at the SRR and it has been excellent! We were greeted by the host Capt Cas and he showed us around. The place is right on the river and the kitchen has everything you need. Fun games! Nice gas fireplace and firepit outside! Going back again
