Perfect in every detail, thanks so much Liz. Six guys, one of the best we've ever stayed in for our annual fishing trip, and this was our 27th year. Easy breezy great open design, high deck overlooks the river, lots of fresh air and smiles all around. We left a few empty ice cream cartons behind and took off with full tummies and great memories. .

Our stay was amazing! This place had it all! Pictures do not do it justice. The wild life outside your door. Great upper and lower decks with comfortable seating and a fire pit for evening relaxing. Liz was quick to respond to any questions. It was more than I could ask for.

Great spot!

House was comfortable and well-equipped - lots of space and easy access to town! Would stay again. We were expecting more river access to fish there at the house - consider clearing the bank of grass to allow for wade in.
