Great River view
Expected 2 rooms with beds with some privacy and 2 bathrooms as listed in description. The single beds are fold out chairs and only one bathroom was disappointing with 2 couples. Would be Great for one couple with kids. She had water well issues and should have disclosed that and given option to cancel contract.

Perfect getaway!
What a beautiful place for watching deer and other wildlife! We spent lots of time on the large fishing dock looking down the river while listening to the babbling brook! Staring out the huge picture window each morning was the highlight for me. We'll be back for sure!

So very wonderful
We love this place. So easy going, quiet, private, CLEAN. We enjoyed getting in the river and kayaking around. Loved cooking on the fancy fire pit. Saw so many animals, fireflies- so cool! This is our favorite place to visit. Love Marga, too! She's awesome! We will have to have tomahawk steaks together next time!
