We had a great stay here - very comfortable and gorgeous views of the river with bald eagles nesting nearby. The game room was great, fully stocked kitchen and all new furnishings. The house is even nicer in person than it looks in the photos! Chris was friendly, accessible, and helpful. We had a great stay and would come back again.

It was nicely decorated and clean, with comfortable beds and furniture and a beautiful kitchen with newer dishes and pans, and beautiful bathrooms. But the best part was the view! We really enjoyed sitting on the deck for coffee and meals and games. And the views from indoors are just as good.

We so enjoyed the views, weather, and deck. We spent a majority of the time sitting out on the deck visiting (although we did sneak in a few games of pool which was a riot!). We loved seeing the barges, trains, and wildlife. The kitchen had everything you could need and more! We slept great on the comfy beds. It was a lovely stay - we hope to be back!
