Perfect for our family of 4 with dogs. Nice and peaceful. Had everything we wanted to do, but unfortunately the weather did not cooperate. Fishing from back yard, fire pit, deck, grill, and nice open house. Even has kayaks, which we didn't get to use but wanted too.
From the back deck, fog rolling in after a rain.

We had a great stay. The house was clean and comfortable. There were plenty of amenities and supplies to meet our needs. The host was awesome and decorated for Christmas. As a bonus we enjoyed watching the eagles and cranes that frequented the skies and river.

Nice and quiet. Right on the river. Kitchen was well stocked with small appliances and utensils/tools. Will be looking to book again in summer to enjoy the fire pit and kayaks!

Yes, amenities were great. Very thoughtful in their supples and appliances. It was a plus with tv’s in all the bedrooms. Spacious but cozy.

Decent fishing, although water level led to jumping off pear because there were no steps to the sand bar uncovered by late season dryness. Some items could use attention, poor water pressure, some cleanliness and repairs. Door lock was tricky. It would not lock properly and constantly.beeped until manually locked. This would be a great place for a family to stay in the summer, great for swimming and fishing.
