Perfect Stay! They thought of everything
This place was perfect for our group over spring Break. It rained over half the time but there was so much to do at the house we still had a blast! The fire tower and fire table were great because we sat out in the deck a ton! Also saw a ton of Elk.

Great stay
We had a great stay here for a big family getaway weekend. Clean and lovely property and we enjoyed a quick cold plunge in the river before hopping in the hot tub. Hopefully we’ll be able to come back in the summer so we can enjoy the fire pit and the kids can use the playground.

Fun weekend stay
There were some minor/inconvenient issues with the property but overall we had a good time. Lots of fun outdoor games and garage hangout. Great kitchen that has just of what you would need. Beds were comfy. Property could be a little better taken care of, some small things were broken/ didn't work/ weren't cleaned well. But nothing that really hindered our stay.
