Peaceful Riverside Retreat
We fully enjoyed our stay at the retreat. This is a very special place if you just want to get away for a few days or longer to enjoy sitting on a dock doing some fishing and enjoying the surrounding nature.

river house
Plenty of room for everyone to have their own space. Lovely kitchen and the beds were very comfy. We enjoyed the deck and being able to dock the boat. Great house for tubing the river. We took a lily pad and tied it off at the dock to cool off.
