What a wonderful place this is. My sister and I brought our 80 year old mom for a long weekend and it was amazing. There was some rain the day and night before so the river was roaring! It was beautiful.The place itself was just as good. Pictures are very accurate. The kitchen was well equip with all we needed to be able to cook all our meals there. The beds were very comfortable and the seating in front of the picture window overlooking the waterfall was the perfect spot to sit and have coffee, eat dinner, or play games. Communication with the owners was easy and they gave fast responses. We are hoping to come back again next year.

Lovely property, truly a retreat space that served us very well. We missed a proper sit down table, though there were sufficient options available. Access to the trails, lakes, sites was appreciated. Could have stayed longer.

Absolutely magnificent

This place was absolutely beautiful. The house, the location, the waterfall, the atmosphere, etc. I could sit on the porch all day and listen to the waterfall. On a clear night the sky was filled with stars, we got to see a few shooting stars as well. Well worth the 13 plus hour drive to get here. I would definitely stay again.

Check in was very simple, house was very clean and ready for us. The kitchen was well-equipped, plenty of dishware, glasses, and flatware for our group. Beds were comfortable; having A/C units and a fan to move the cool air around the space made the house comfortable when we arrived; temps during our stay meant we didn't really need the A/C and could just open windows and enjoy the sound of the beautiful waterfall! Great place for a relaxing, get-away-from-it-all few days. Had fun exploring the river/waterfall, cooking together, spending an afternoon at Christine Lake, and just exploring the area.
