Great place!

This is a great place to stay for large groups! Everyone loved the game room and river access. I will say I booked 5 bedrooms but was only allowed access to 4. For the money I was paying I was expecting to gain access to all of the bedrooms listed. Other than that the stay was great.

Business stay

Overall good stay. Could definitely use some dusting. House is haunted, doors randomly open/close and you can hear footsteps upstairs when no one is there.

We LOVED this house!

I hesitate to rave about our stay because I don’t want to share this secluded paradise. We had the absolute best time. The house and surrounding area look exactly like the pictures. We have 4 kids (16, 14, 12, 10) and between the game room, outside play space and access to the river, there was plenty to keep everyone busy and happy. The house was clean. The hosts were great communicators. We really could not have asked for more. Thank you for a great break for our family! We can't wait to come back :)

Amazing Place

This place was so comfy and relaxing. Only thing I would suggest is that after it rained some, the ramp going to driveway was very slick from and I slipped pretty badly. Everything is good, but I would suggest putting some grip strips or something on it to prevent slips. Other than that the place was great.
