Perfect Weekend
I have stayed in many vacation rentals and I can honestly say this is the FIRST time I felt that the rental cost was worth it! I typically feel rentals are overpriced and do not match the quality of the rental...this was NOT the case here!
Such a high quality property, description matched perfectly what we found, everything was so clean and organized, there was not one thing we needed that wasn't provided. Pam has thought of EVERYTHING. Don't let the loft sleeping arrangements scare you off, we had 6 teens utilize the loft are and it was absolutely perfect for them. The location was quiet, beautiful, calming, and private.
The only thing that could have been better was the weather LOL.
Absolutely beautiful rental, we had a wonderful time and I would highly recommend.

Awesome Place to Stay
We were up here on a weekend fishing trip with some buddies. This was the perfect place for us to stay and had everything we needed. The Host was very responsive and a pleasure to deal with.

Family Easter Celebration
Because we have family in three different states we decided to choose a place equidistance from our homes to spend a quality weekend together to celebrate Easter. The place is just as advertised, and because the owner stopped by to ensure everything was OK, and provided us with the address of a near by grocery store. Although it was somewhat cool for Easter, we were still able to sit outside around a firepit, and enjoy nature. Great stay, will try to come back when it is warmer.

Our short vaca at the River
This is a very neat house and property that feels secluded even though there are major roads close by. We were graciously accommodated on several levels by our awesome host, Pam! Thank you for helping our family make memories!
