The house and yard is absolutely amazing! Perfect for 3 families with children! The house is nestled in a very private and quiet place and short drive for groceries etc. It was a bummer that the water level was down due to work on the dam but the host was very clear and upfront with the water level situation. I would come back and stay to enjoy the water at normal level in the future!

Our stay here was wonderful! You can tell that every little thing provided was well thought out and the owners take pride in their place. Sarah was very responsive and eager to assist with any needs. The location is very peaceful and tranquil. My family and I are already trying to determine when we can come back!

We were in town for Easter weekend and we very pleased with this location. Hosts responded quickly and the home had lots to offer. Water level as mentioned in the description was quite low but it was perfect for fishing, swimming, and the paddle boat!

We had a group of nine stay and everyone was very comfortable! Great seating on the porch overlooking the river, roomy dining and living areas, very comfortable breakfast nook and well stocked kitchen. The bedroom set-up was just what we needed. Pool table, shuffleboard table and Galaga video game were all utilized! All was very clean. Check-in and out seamless. Sarah was very responsive. All made for a very positive stay--we appreciate it all!
