Stayed 2 nights in Jun 2025 ### 10/10 Excellent #### Leah T. 7 Sept 2025 Liked: Cleanliness, check-in, communication, location, listing accuracy The privacy and seclusion was outstanding. We loved the private river access, and the view from the house was beautiful. The house was really cool too! We had an awesome time and would love to come back.Two small suggestions: put a queen bed in each bedroom, rather than have a bedroom with two queens. We had four couples, this would've worked better. Also, tell people in the listing to bring chairs for the river (we brought our own), but just to be helpful. ##### Leah T.
