Loved sitting on the porch swing listening to the river. Bed was comfortable. Kitchen was equipped for cooking small meals. The bedroom and bathroom can be a bit of a challenge for the big and tall guest. Not extremely quiet and secluded. Once you figure out how to recline the couch its more comfortable (handle inside the left and right side cushions). Enjoyed ourselves and would stay again. ##### Kim B.
