Relaxing stay

Enjoyed our stay in the cute home. Very well furnished with all necessary items and very well organized with instructions for everything in the home. We were there to visit family nearby and it was perfectly located between the towns we were visiting. When we weren't visiting, we loved sitting on the front porch and listening to the river. Matt was awesome at communicating with us. Thanks for the opportunity to stay here.

Well stocked small house

Very comfortable small house had everything you might need. Loved listening to the river from the front porch. I will admit I wasn't a fan of the winding 2 lane roads to get to the house.

It really IS cozy!

The two days we went to Fries it was cold and rained constantly, so there wasn't any hiking and such. The house is lovingly remodeled and updated (and cozy!), so it wasn't a hardship staying in. Puzzles, movies, and reading by the gas-log fireplace. Great meals in local restaurants; nice view from the covered porch; and NO traffic! Peaceful weekend.
