Attention to detail
This house is amazing, everyone had their own space but all could gather in the kitchen area. There is everything you need to cook and even had bagged ice waiting for us. The hosts thought of everything down to individual new toothbrushes in each bathroom. The master bedroom has an amazing view of the back yard, and the bathroom didnt disappoint. We went kayaking 2 different days, the ease of getting in and out of the water was a plus. Would recommend taking a phone out with you, my husband and I didn't and were lost for a bit, but found our way back. The only thing I would recommend would be to have some sort of shade on the deck or pack a pop up canopy. When there were no clouds in the sky the sun was too hot to sit outside for long. Other than that, this place was amazing and loved by the family ages 27 - 50.

Beautiful well-appointed property
This riverfront property is exceptional. The feel of the place is cozy cabin with beautiful upgrades. You can tell the property manager cares about the “little things”. The kitchen is better equipped than most people’s home kitchens, the linens are very nice, and I loved the robes waiting for us in the primary bedroom! We enjoyed having a bonfire and looking out at the river in the evenings. Will definitely be back!

Phenomenal property with an amazing experience
This property overall is a dream home with a great location. The structure of the home is high quality, so my infant and toddler were able to sleep while my family and I were able to mingle in the common areas. The views are beautiful, and it feels like a complete getaway. Everything you need is in the house from toys for small children, to comfortable hangout areas (including a massive back patio), to a full kitchen setup and even equipment to ride in a kayak and canoe! The host was very polite and responded to questions in a timely manner. He made sure the experience of the whole Vrbo was done with five star quality. If you're lucky enough to book this property, do it! It's perfect for those who want to relax, and for those who love adventure.
