I think this is the most beautiful spot along the Rainbow River. A few feet upstream the river splits to go around 2 islands. the branch that runs by the house is shallow (up to waist deep), clear and almost magical. Its a great place for young swimmers, especially if they want to go to the private island or learn to paddle board or kayak. The dock and ladder allow even us 84 year olds to easily hop into a kayak and paddle up or downstream. Being a prime spot on the river, the house was built in the early days and as a result was not or is not easily remodelled. The owners have certainly have tried. The owners are friendly, gracious, and prompt to solve your problems. We had a delightful February.

We absolutely loved the house! There was plenty of room for our family. We liked that the water was steps away from the back door. During our trip the water level off the back deck was about waist high. We were able to hang in the water and enjoy each other and the surroundings. My son loved paddle board around the private island. All and all, we had an amazing time.

Perfect location on the river. This was our third stay at the property and have always loved it. Shallow area outside the house is perfect for kids of all ages.
