"This property is an instant favorite. It's very quiet with lots of wildlife to see. The river is able to be enjoyed steps away from the lovely back porch. We purchased a small toaster while in town as the one there was sparking and didnt toast all the way. We also picked up a few night lights for the stairs and bathroom since it was a new unfamiliar layout. Overall, our stay was peaceful and SO needed. We'll be back!"
