The property is beautiful and very rustic and our kiddos had a blast! We floated the river 2 days and got to all go and watch Pawpaw play in a Sr Softball tournament! We cooked all of our meals together and had everything we needed!Fun family memories that will last a lifetime!! We would highly recommend this property for large groups and multiple families wanting to gather together in one fun place! ![](https://a.travel-assets.com/ugc/hotel-reviews/c8bb87e7-ad4c-41c3-af0f-aba899758948-1750513523312.jpg?impolicy=resizecrop&rw=204&ra=fit&q=high) ![](https://a.travel-assets.com/ugc/hotel-reviews/3045aacf-9b8f-4179-b17f-a4c4019d10e0-1750513523272.jpg?impolicy=resizecrop&rw=204&ra=fit&q=high) ![](https://a.travel-assets.com/ugc/hotel-reviews/ea02302d-fd69-42bc-bdf6-c863ba2d9b8a-1750513523378.jpg?impolicy=resizecrop&rw=204&ra=fit&q=high) ![](https://a.travel-assets.com/ugc/hotel-reviews/63768091-5c9d-4060-a878-e762f61f25af-1750513523437.jpg?impolicy=resizecrop&rw=204&ra=fit&q=high) ##### Michelle S.
