Eagles are abundant in the winter and if you're a birdwatcher this is the place for you.

Very comfortable Queen size Serta bed.

The double sliding doors offer a beautiful view of the river even from the bed and can be opened in the summer to offer the relaxing and calming sounds of the river.

Enjoy a movie or your favorite music on the outdoor tv or bluetooth speakers on the deck or enjoy a fire while watching the river.
