So nice house I love

The facilities were very adequate. The house was very clean. The river view was spectacular and we enjoyed watching the barges traveling up and down the river. Would definitely recommend it.

The property was exactly as described. The property was very clean and well appointed. Jill (host) knows how to host! She was very communicative through messages. She provided an advance look at the property’s welcome book (which is very detailed with great information) helping us plan our stay. The property had plenty of outdoor play space for the kids and relaxing areas for adults. While isolated and private, it is conveniently located close to many hiking options. This is a 5 star plus rental. We highly recommend and would definitely stay again.
