this was an excellent space for us, 3 families coming together - floor plan perfect (everybody had their own floor), huge table for dinners & family game nights, river is amazing with lots of amenities (kayaks, tubes, life jackets) - kids spent hours down on the river. Kitchen was well stocked and location'/view was amazing. great family vacation.

Incredible house, our favorite vacation rental ever
There was plenty of room for all of us and lots of activities and entertainment just at the house itself. It was clean and easy to navigate. The views were amazing. We even did a little fishing in the river which turned out to be very fun. Will look forward to staying here again in future.

Fantastic Stay!
Beautiful home, quiet location, and even better than we expected. Bill was incredibly responsive to our questions and inquiries and the check in processes was seamless and easy. We travelled with two families and lots of kids - there was something in the house for everyone and plenty of room to relax in this thoughtfully designed home overlooking the water. We highly recommend all who are interested!

Amazing Property
The mountain home and property grounds are beautifully kept! The home has all of the essentials...and so much more. There was plenty of space for our family of 13 (7 adults and 6 children). We particularly enjoyed the covered outdoor patio deck during morning coffee and early evening happy hours. We had such a great time and would love to rent again!

Would stay again!
Overall this worked well for our large group and we had a wonderful time! A few things we didn’t expect: dog poop on the grounds around the house which we cleaned up on arrival, lower level shower regularly turned ice cold during use, the sleeper sofa on the lower level was broken and “not for guest use” but the house is beautiful and clean and well-stocked. Maintenance was very responsive with communication. We loved the river and the hot tub and the bunk room and of course the kids wanted to live there forever!

New Favorite Vacation Home – 10 Stars
My 6-year son, Tristan has given this vacation stay a 10 out of 10 and the rest of the family could not agree with him more. The owners have created an amazingly comfortable space. We were impressed with the amount of thought and details that went into the build and the furnishings. The owners were accessible and addressed any questions we had. We will be back this summer!
