Summary: Whether you are getting married here, coming with a couple of friends, or if you just want the whole place to yourself and your spouse this place is absolutely perfect. We brought a whole group of friends for a bachelor/bachelorette get together and it was the best spot. There are hiking trails across the street, you can rent canoes and kayaks in case you don't wanna bring your own or if you don't have enough for everybody to bring down. We caught fish, we kayaked, we rode scooters, we played cornhole which we brought our own boards. Everything was a dream The property is absolutely stunning, I have absolutely nothing negative to say.

Summary: There were 11 of us that stayed in this home. We all loved the property and all that was provided. There was plenty to do at the house with the pool, the use of kayak's, fishing poles, pool table, visiting with the cows etc. House was clean upon arrival and well supplied with items to use. Theresa the property manager was a big help before we arrived answering many questions, and we had no surprises upon arrival. All went well. We would highly recommend this property to anyone looking for a place to relax and enjoy some time away from busy lifestyles. It allows for great relaxation and fun in the sun. Thanks for sharing your home with us.

Summary: A stay you won’t be disappointed with! The house is just right; clean, an abundance of comfortable sleeping space, a nice spot to put your feet up late at night, and a well appointed kitchen centered around a massive island. Outside, the yard is about the biggest we saw on the river. Room for any activity and more. A great pool right on the river, with plenty of lounge/seating and built in shade if you need it. The pole barn is a unique bonus for watching a rain storm blow through, a ping pong tournament or three, or for kids riding scooters around. Plenty of good finds in the garage for keeping the kids busy. Teresa, the host, was amazing. Always a quick reply and she gave us several good recommendations for things to do in the area. The groundskeeper is right out your back door if you need anything. Toss in a day on the river in a boat rental, and it’ll be a week to remember!
