We loved this house - very clean, with all the amenities that’s perfect for a family vacation. Its location sits close to the water with beautiful views of the branch. Kids loved the pool/l table/ping pong table, big kitchen for meals, beautiful deck with a fire pit to enjoy sitting outside. Walking distance to the lake - water toys including kyaks and beach chairs for the lake were provided. We’ll definitely want to rent this house again next summer.

We enjoyed a fantastic 4 nights at this house - boated daily and hung out at the house nightly. Debbie and her husband have everything you need for your stay - the ping pong table was a hit and we enjoyed hanging out on the deck listening to the river. They were excellent hosts and we would return again!

This is a beautiful property with a wonderful view of the river. The house was fantastic for our family, and we enjoyed the deck, playing games, and relaxing. We brought our boat, and it was a short drive to launch the boat. My elderly parents loved the accommodations as well, and it was great that there was a step-in shower on the main floor.

Wonderful! Quiet Cabin in the woods by a river

We had a quiet stay in the cabin by the river. The river canceled out any other noises (which were minimal) and we found the place very calming and quiet. The kitchen has everything you could possibly need, and the living room is large with a great view. The host was very accommodating and made the whole process exceedingly easy on us. The cabin is not overly staged and feels very home-y. Highly recommend for a quiet spot. My only suggestion is that if you bring small children, you will need to keep an eye on them as there is a steep hill leading to the water.

lovely spot

This was a great house for our needs, as we came to visit friends who live in the neighborhood. We enjoyed the deck and the river views, plus the river sounds coming in the windows. There was also the occasional chugging train across the highway. The guys had fun playing pool. Kitchen was more than adequate with every appliance and tool needed for food preparation. The beds were excellent and ours (a king) was just right firm! Had a lovely time visiting with Debbie and David, too. All in all, it was a wonderful vacation.
