Amazing place for large groups who want to be together!
10.0 / 10.0Outstanding·Jul 2025
It was incredible. Beautiful property and the owner was very adamant about us having a great time. Will definitely go back!
8.0 / 10.0Excellent·May 2025
We had several things missing (trash bags, dish soap, etc.) but the host was quick to get things sent over to us. The grounds are beautiful and the house offers plenty of space.
6.0 / 10.0Average·Aug 2023
House was nice overall. Property is beautiful. The large room upstairs with all the bunk beds is great for large groups but it stayed very hot even with the AC unit on. We had to go buy fans to sleep. Needs an additional unit on that room. Master bed abd bath are beautiful but there needs to be some sort of door on the bathroom or even a curtain. Some things just require a little privacy. The pool was an added bonus and was large. We had a great time and close to the river. Plenty of parking and beautiful deer at sunset. We had a great time. This is our 26th year and as our party grows this house can accomodate our party.
