Nestled on a picturesque bluff overlooking the Clam River, this delightful retreat will soon have the added beauty of fall colors, creating a vibrant and enchanting atmosphere. Observe majestic eagles gracefully soaring above the river, marvel at the diverse array of bird species against the backdrop of colorful foliage, catch glimpses of deer and other wildlife amidst the autumn hues, and try your hand at trout fishing (when in season) in the periodically stocked river. Immerse yourself in the soothing sounds of the flowing water and the rustling of leaves, providing the perfect backdrop for unwinding during this serene season.
In addition to these natural wonders, the property boasts private trails that beckon you to explore and the option to bring your own kayaks or canoes for tranquil excursions. For adventure enthusiasts, nearby off-property trails are ideal for exhilarating UTV and ATV rides. Engage in various yard games and revel in harmonious communion with nature.

Our family had a great time celebrating the holidays together at this property! With 4 kids in the family now and several adults, staying together under one roof has gotten more difficult over the years. This was our first time renting a house for our holiday celebration, and it was a great experience. The host was super responsive and helpful — we were coordinating a lot of meals, and needed specifics on cookware/serving ware and also wanted to bring a small tree with us to set up for the kids. Everyone had privacy and their own space, which was great. The pool table provided plenty of entertainment for the adults, and the assortment of board games — and Pac Man arcade machine — gave the kids plenty to do, too.A big bonus was being able to let relatives bring their dogs for the weekend. Of course, finding pet sitters around the holidays is difficult, so giving family members one less thing to worry about worked out well. A few things to note — not that any of them would have deterred us from booking the kitchen is a bit small, as is the dishwasher, and counter space is limited. Probably not an issue for most, but with Christmas dinner comes many, many dishes. We were a bit crammed while navigating around one another, but it was certainly workable. So just FYI! The carpet upstairs is a bit worn, but it helps that dogs are kept off of it. Great stay overall, thank you for the hospitality!

The house was beautiful. We didnt get a chance to see much of outside getting to house after dark each night. Everyone was comfortable and rested.

House is completely stocked with everything, very well thought out and executed. The snacks were a major bonus. Only marked it down one star on family friendly simply because of the hill, you would definitely need to keep an eye on the littles.
