Excellent stay. My only suggestion would be to fix the sink faucet in the bathroom: The best we could get was a trickle of water. The deck overlooking the river was wonderful. A perfect place for an afternoon/evening drink.

This place was perfection for my husband and I. It was close to hiking and biking trails, right on the river with amazing fishing in the backyard, plenty of nearby dining, and peace and quiet. We will be back!
