Lovely Home
The home is lovely and exactly as advertised. It was very clean and had everything we needed to enjoy our weekend getaway. The screened in patio across the back of the house was perfect for sitting and reading a book while listening to the river and the birds. Thoroughly enjoyed and would stay here again.

A little slice of heaven
There was two couples and it worked out great. The split floor plan is ideal for couples or parents with children. Beautiful setting right beside the river is very relaxing. Everything was clean and just as advertised. Not too far from town. The neighborhood is beautiful and quiet. I would highly recommend this home About as close to perfect as you can get.

Beautiful riverside getaway!
We had a wonderful time staying at this beautiful home for a mini getaway! The home is wonderfully decorated, clean, and just a few steps away from the river. The owner was gracious and allowed us to have an early check in, giving us more time to fish. We fished each day and caught plenty of gorgeous trout. We are already looking into booking this property again!

The house was perfect and so comfortable; the thought put into everything was wonderful! Enjoyed the swing bed with the sound of the creek. The only thing mussing was coffee, so just make sure to bring some. But the Christmas decorations and outdoor lights were very beautiful

Beautiful house and location. We celebrated our twins 29 birthday with their spouses. The house was perfect as it was directly on the river. We enjoyed sitting on the screen porch listening to the river. Also great location for hiking and checking out wineries. We will be back.

Great property & location.
The property was great! Very clean, roomy & well supplied. The only negatives I noticed was that the grill needs a new grate and the ice maker didn't make any ice even though we put the arm down but neither caused us any issues since we didn't grill anything and we had already bought a bag of ice on our way there. We all said we would definitely stay there again.
