We had a great stay. The house was clean and comfortable. There were plenty of amenities and supplies to meet our needs. The host was awesome and decorated for Christmas. As a bonus we enjoyed watching the eagles and cranes that frequented the skies and river.

Nice and quiet. Right on the river. Kitchen was well stocked with small appliances and utensils/tools. Will be looking to book again in summer to enjoy the fire pit and kayaks!

Decent fishing, although water level led to jumping off pear because there were no steps to the sand bar uncovered by late season dryness. Some items could use attention, poor water pressure, some cleanliness and repairs. Door lock was tricky. It would not lock properly and constantly.beeped until manually locked. This would be a great place for a family to stay in the summer, great for swimming and fishing.
