Wonderful!

We thoroughly enjoyed our stay at the Red Canoe Retreat! We initially were only planning on staying for two nights, but once we saw how beautiful the home was we decided to add on an additional night. CJ was excellent to deal with. His responses were prompt and detailed. We will be back!
Stayed 2 nights in Dec 2022
