We had a great time! I've never traveled with dogs or my family, so I'm excited we were able to stay. The river was very accessible, and the kids had a great time wading in. The house was awesome, stocked with the best kitchen supplies I've seen yet. The beds were comfortable, and it felt like someone loves this place, rather than most generic rentals. We made a lot of new memories here.

Property was exactly if not better than described. Excellant communication- zero issues and zero surprises. The river access was awesome as well as the fire pit and the supplied firewood. The decks gave an awesome view and place to drink morning coffee or to visit after the late night fire. Can't say enough good things about this property and the owners. Thanks for sharing it!
