Rapid River Retreat! Home sleeps 6, garage, fire pit

Escape to your own private oasis in this newly renovated, peaceful, clean 3 bedroom home on 200 ft of Rapid River!

Perfect layout for a family and another couple! High speed fiber optic internet!
With plenty of sunshine and shade trees you can kick back with a book while enjoying your favorite beverage on the private waterside deck, dangle your feet in the river from the private bridge, catch a glimpse of a bald eagle or throw a line in to catch a trout or two.

What more can you ask for?
