Wonderful getaway!

This was such a great stay! It was just me and my teenage daughter, who is used to busy city life. So to be basically in the middle of nowhere amd be surrounded by just nature was amazing. The house was so cozy and made us feel so welcome and inviting. Thank you Cheryl for letting us stay. I will be telling everyone about your place!!

Relaxing Getaway

‘Escape on the river’ says it all…very secluded and relaxing atmosphere in nature with the spectacular view and sound of the river from the deck…the property is very clean and has everything needed for creating great memories with our family…also a stone fire pit to sit around and a walkway down to the river…we had a fantastic time but most of all a ‘relaxing’ time!!!…we plan on returning…

Get-away cabin

We really loved the cabin on the creek. It's really quiet and peaceful. And there are things to do not too far away. The water heater wasn't working well so they came out and put in a new one. Awesome owner!
