We loved the space! We usually go on a fishing trip for Memorial Day weekend and we were worried about the rain that was coming in, but the fantastic porch made the rainy weekend feel like a perfect getaway! We had plenty of room for our family, and for very comfortable the whole time. Host was responsive when I had questions, and it felt like we were out in the middle of nowhere, but still had access to things like Instacart and food delivery! Truly beautiful spot, and we spent a ton of time on the porch!

We loved this house! It’s on a beautiful piece of property by the River. It was great for fly fishing or just sitting on the deck. We had 8 adults and found all the rooms to fit us comfortably. It had a huge dining table that was perfect for dinners and games. We also loved the wrap around porch. It was a great spot for coffee in the mornings. It made for a most enjoyable weekend!
