"I took my 10yr old son and his buddy for a fishing trip and we had a blast. The property was very clean and comfortable. The host was very easy to communicate with and had left snacks and bottled waters out for us in a welcoming basket. The boys had a great time playing on the river and it was very convenient to downtown shopping and dining. We will be back!"
