Summary: We decided to rent this home for our annual ladies trip to the Highland County Maple Festival. We took advantage of the nice weather and enjoyed the new patio furniture. We had 11 ladies in the house and the space was adequate for our needs.

Summary: My husband and I stayed at the river retreat for a long weekend for our anniversary. We enjoyed fishing in the river! I forgot before leaving that the house did not have TV, because I was going to bring one with me. It actually ended up being a much better vacation because we did not have the TV. We spent every night at the fire pit enjoying each others company with well stocked firewood! Thanks for the use of the house!

Summary: The stay was relaxing. However couple of things, the flies are really a nuisance both inside and outside. Btw we think a skunk has made its residence under the big shed. We saw it pass us couple of times but were lucky to not be sprayed. Another thing, the river looks like it’s right behind the property where I thought I could sit on the patio and watch the kids…Nope! It’s a bit of a walk and the grass is so tall and uncut that we all have cuts around our ankles from walking in it. I inquired about fish in the river (our stay was supposed to be a relaxing fishing trip for the kids) but the team had no information about the fish in the river. Btw there are some small crawfish and maybe tiny bluegills but not for the fishing line which is what my kids were looking forward to. This is in the month of July so it may be different other times. The house is decent and the location has absolutely no call signal (only spotty WiFi). But we enjoyed disconnecting from the online world! Great weekend trip!
