Our stay was amazing! This place had it all! Pictures do not do it justice. The wild life outside your door. Great upper and lower decks with comfortable seating and a fire pit for evening relaxing. Liz was quick to respond to any questions. It was more than I could ask for.

Great spot!

House was comfortable and well-equipped - lots of space and easy access to town! Would stay again. We were expecting more river access to fish there at the house - consider clearing the bank of grass to allow for wade in.
