This house was perfect we never wanted for anything! Lots of comfortable beds, plenty of bathrooms, plenty of hot water adorable river Otter watching. We had a blast. If you are looking to fish at the house we would recommend fly fishing, our equipment did not do well in the shallows.

We absolutely loved everything about this property. It was so spacious and all the amenities were great. The kitchen island was amazing. The fellas enjoyed the pool table while the ladies enjoyed visiting on the fabulous back deck. Truly a “diamond in the rough”. We will be back.
