We enjoyed a family weekend at the beautiful mad river retreat. The house was very comfortable, clean and well organized. We explored the river and swam in the clean and refreshing water hole by the house. This was our first visit to the mad river valley and won’t be the last, We really enjoyed the mountains, beautiful scenery and friendly community and had much fun tubing and fishing. Michelle was an amazing host!!
