8.0 / 10.0Excellent·Nov 2025
The views were beautiful! Surrounded by mountains and the river. The house was clean. Our biggest issue was the beds. They were extremely hard and uncomfortable. It was not easy getting sleep. Also, we didn’t bother with the fireplace because it kept going out every few minutes. Overall our stay was nice, with the exception of above.

This was one of my favorites visits to this area. The river access was my favorite and took my breathe away. Very cute house that is very clean and easy to check into. We will likely try to stay here again in the future!
