Friends Getaway

10/10 highly recommend! Tim and Joanne were fantastic hosts! Very communicative and responsive. The cabin was perfect for our friend group! We had kids age 3 to 15 and they all had their own spots and activities meanwhile the adults enjoyed their time as well! We used their river equipment and tubed down the river which is very close by! We never ran out of things to do! So much wild life, we all had fun feeding the deer each evening/morning! My only feedback would be more towels for showering as we had to run a couple of loads and sheets for the pull out couch/bed…which was brand new by the way! You can definitely tell this place is well taken care of as it seemed brand new! We are already planning a return trip for the fall!
