The location is great! The home sits right along the river with great access to kayak and swim. We had a blast kayaking and floating in the river. Beautiful area. The home is lovely. Perfect for all of our party. Great set up for board games inside. Fire, s'mores and relaxing outside along the river was nice too. Great location for enjoying the river and surrounding area. Great communication, easy checkin. Highly recommend!
