Just what we needed

We were only there for 3 days and 2 nights but every time we turned around we found a new place to enjoy. Our youngest were in the music studio for hours on end. Cornhole and hot tub were well used. This place was just as advertised maybe more so!

Amazing surrounding.

We had a very good time at the house and thoroughly enjoyed the river that is just steps away. Our dogs loved the yard and the access to water. The house is clean, well-kept, and the AC was definitely a plus during a hot summer stay!

Riverside oasis

This riverside oasis is the best place to be. We watched humming birds, a beautiful raven, played board games, enjoyed the Gary Larson books, dipped our toes in the river and began our mornings walking the property. It is so lovely, relaxing, expertly well appointed and has something everyone can enjoy. This place is a treasure.

Beautiful property

Overall the property is incredible, there is a lot of special places to discover as you walk around the trails. However, if you were hoping to enjoy a view or even a glimpse of the river from the house, you will be just as disappointed as I was. We did enjoy the hot tub (again no view of river) and loved all the details around the property, it is very thought out.

River, hot tub, room to roam and owls!

We loved our stay here! Our 2 dogs had a blast playing in the huge yard, and we enjoyed exploring all the nooks and crannies of the large fenced property. Places to sit next to the river, around the fire pit or on the porch to listen to the birds made it so relaxing. We were visited by two barred owls! The separate music room is a big plus, giving an opportunity to try out different instruments without disturbing others. The hot tub was pristine and private, great for soaking after a hike. And the cabin kitchen was better equipped than ours at home. Great internet service allowed us to keep in touch with work when we had to. We plan to come back.

Beautiful property and lovely house

This is a huge property with a large riverfront and beautiful trees and landscaping throughout - absolutely one of the best places we have ever stayed in. We loved all the outdoor spaces - played badmitton and bocce on the lawn, read in the hammocks, played games on the table by the river, made s'mores at the firepit, ate outside on both decks and soaked in the hot tub. We even splashed around in the river. So many places to escape by yourself or do things together. We cooked all our meals in the kitchen, which had everything we needed. The music shed was amazing for family jam sessions. The inside renovation was well done, comfortable and had all the ameneties we required, plus some extras that were nice - tons of games, DVDs, great exterior lighting, swings, and air conditioning. We didn't have a dog or young kids, but the property would be great for both as it is fenced all around. It was a fantastic, relaxing stay for our family - wish we could have stayed longer!

Lovely

I wish we could have stayed longer, maybe forever. The propery is amazing. Neighbors are a little close so I did wish for a tall fence on both sides instead of just the one, but other than that, the outdoor space is just about perfect. The music room was a huge hit with my teens. I was bummed I didn't realize there is a flat lawn space as we would have brought some light sports equipment. The river was awesome as well, with two different ways down. I spent the most time at the fire pit and really enjoyed that space. As far as the house goes, there was very little water pressure in the kitchen sink and I would have been happier with window coverings in the living room/kitchen for evenings as I felt very exposed, but otherwise we had no complaints. The bathrooms and bedrooms are beautiful and well maintained. Cleaning supplies are readily acceasible and labels were helpful as far as providing information on appropriate use of the various aspects. Really, just a wonderful place to go.

What a beautiful and LARGE property! All 4 of us ladies were super cozy on the couch together as well as in our rooms and the hot tub. We were so shocked at how large the property was! Which gave us plenty of outside time and by the river, which was so wonderful.
