We all very much enjoyed our stay at the cabin! A couple of our grandkids said they'd like to move there! The area is very scenic and I'm sure it would be an awesome place to rent in the summer! My husband and a few of the grandkids used the broom and vacuum cleaner when we were getting packed up to leave - they said they didn't want to leave it messy since it was nice and clean when we got there! The hosts were very helpful - each time I had a question they replied back with the answer in short order. A suggestion might be to leave a couple extra boxes of tissues and paper towels somewhere in case guests run low. We all enjoyed our stay at the River Lodge and were sad when it was time to leave. The huge space allows a large family to all be together or be in groups and do their own thing! Thanks for the great hospitality and a fun place to spend together as a large family!
