However, this location, house, and river just became my favorite place to float. The private river access was amazing! The outfitter literally picked us up from the house and we floated right back to our house. The house itself is beautiful! It’s large enough for a big group and has several bathrooms available. It feels like a home that is being shared versus a rental, if that makes sense. ##### Kelly J.

House was incredible and property is even better than the pictures show. We had plenty of room for our group of 11 adults. We made great use of the awesome fire pit and you really can't put a price on the peace that came from the rockers on the back porch. The gravel bar was perfect and private. It's an easy enough walk but plan to drive down for coolers/chairs/canopies. Thanks for sharing your place with us, can't wait to come back! ##### Shawna F.

This year I booked early but still the weekends were pretty full! We had a 3 day family reunion with about 20 people. The set up of this house made it seem never too crowded. Having 2 fully stocked kitchens and 3 coffee pots was awesome! The way the bedrooms are situated there are 2 bedrooms with a bathroom in between. The large dining table on the deck and kitchen was great! We had Garrison’s pick us up for a float trip and we floated back to our private gravel bar! Loved everything about this property and hope to return soon! Also great communication with the host! ##### Marla C.

PERFECT. The property is beautiful, private, and so peaceful. Having the river just a short walk from the house was great, as was the giant fire pit--lots of spaces and places for people to explore, connect, and find peace. The house itself has an amazing layout with plenty of bedrooms and bathrooms so that no one felt crowded or cramped, while there were two large group gathering spaces for all of us to comfortably come together. Everything was spotless, easy to use, and very comfortable. Cathy, the property owner was so kind, accomodating, and responsive. Several of my guests have requested to return to this property for another retreat, and I am very excited to book again! ##### Jean R.

The layout was perfect for our large group and everyone had space to spread out. The beach was absolutely beautiful and everything was so private! We couldn’t have asked for a better place for our book club girls weekend. We hope to make it an annual trip! Thanks so much! ##### Taylor K.
