The mosquitoes this year have been horrible and they were so bad we couldn’t even step outside as we were swarmed. They were coming down chimney in droves and we spent our nights killing mosquitoes non-stop. The owner and property manager were apologetic and offered to make it right. What more can you ask? The property is beautiful and the river is gorgeous. Tons of wildlife, secluded location and a well supplied house. Other than the mosquitoes we felt like we were staying with family. Very cozy.
