Beautiful well-appointed property
This riverfront property is exceptional. The feel of the place is cozy cabin with beautiful upgrades. You can tell the property manager cares about the “little things”. The kitchen is better equipped than most people’s home kitchens, the linens are very nice, and I loved the robes waiting for us in the primary bedroom! We enjoyed having a bonfire and looking out at the river in the evenings. Will definitely be back!

Phenomenal property with an amazing experience
This property overall is a dream home with a great location. The structure of the home is high quality, so my infant and toddler were able to sleep while my family and I were able to mingle in the common areas. The views are beautiful, and it feels like a complete getaway. Everything you need is in the house from toys for small children, to comfortable hangout areas (including a massive back patio), to a full kitchen setup and even equipment to ride in a kayak and canoe! The host was very polite and responded to questions in a timely manner. He made sure the experience of the whole Vrbo was done with five star quality. If you're lucky enough to book this property, do it! It's perfect for those who want to relax, and for those who love adventure.
