Perfect. Gorgeous setting and location.
A perfect fit for our party. We had a a family of 4 with 2 young kids and 3 adults. Was nice to be able to have separate sleeping quarters and still be together. The place itself was gorgeous and view spectacular. Would highly recommend.

Great property
The location is incredibly charming and peaceful. The view over the river is stunning. There were a few cleanliness issues when we first arrived but the company that owns the property was fairly quick to resolve the issues as they came up.

Great Place!
Great property with everything you need for a getaway! The guest house is a great gathering area to watch a game and kick back. The main home is more rustic/log cabin that is nicely setup. Great view of the river! A little tough to find on the GPS but, very private setting.
