Amazing stay, thank you Evan. Our 2nd time here and I’m sure we’ll be back. Dogs loved it and we had a fabulous time walking, fishing and enjoying the beautiful scenery. Can’t wait to visit again.

My second time here, after arriving a day late due to mother nature, another fantastic time was had. Thank you Evan for being a fabulous host. We’ve already booked for next year.

Thank you Evan. Peace, quiet and tranquility (except for those few fighter jets). If you ever sell the place, give us a call…

Was not prepared for the river but Evan taught me well and it only got easier as it dropped every day. More rain due so having to leave a day early but I’ll definitely be back again. Evan was a true gent, thoroughly enjoyed chatting to him and finding out the history of the place. He went above and beyond to ensure our stay was good. Thank you so much.
