It was nice and quiet. The river was a quick trip down the stairs. The river there was on the swallow side, which was perfect for me and my daughter since we just like to sit along the rocks. We definitely recommend this place!!! ##### Sally T.

It's RIGHT on the river. Awesome spot. BUT, they seem to have a cockroach infestation going on. We left a night early because we couldn't handle it anymore. ##### Ryan M. ### 10/10 Excellent #### Kristi B. 12 Aug 2021 Liked: Cleanliness, check-in, communication, location, listing accuracy #### Relaxing River Getaway We initially booked this property due to the proximity and ease of accessing the river. It was perfect!! The place was so beautiful and light! The backyard was the perfect hangout spot for us to play cornhole and relax in the evenings. The only complaint that I have is that the outside trash was spilling over and hadn't been changed since previous guests and the kitchen sink disposal was full of solid food that needed to be pulled out, but after we got past that the stay was amazing! We will definitely be back!! ##### Kristi B.

Little Ponderosa Tubes is at the entrance they let you float to your house and come pick up tubes then you get your vehicle or can float to them. It was very convenient. The house was simple yet very nice and accommodating. Back yard was also very nice and a great hangout spot when not on the river. The only negative of our trip was the grass was overgrown and really needed to be mowed. Just was an annoyance to have to walk through shin high grass to get to the river. ##### Derik V.

Easy on my knees, not hundreds of steps like so many others, and the people we met down at the river were so fun! Thank you so much, we will definitely be back! ##### Brandy R.

Our only complaints were getting in late due to the cleaning crew not finishing until close to 5 when check in was at 4 and the summit across the river is not good for trying to get away to a nice quiet stretch of the river. We won't be staying here again due to that reason alone. If it weren't for the summit being across we'd stay here again for sure. ##### Chris C.
