You can visit the cattle from a safe distance or relax and read a book while listening to the sounds of the river and cattle. There is over a mile of river frontage to explore with the fishing pole, or you can break out the swim gear and go tubing from one end of the property to the other.

Linens, towels, sheets and blankets are provided. There is a full-size washer and dryer. The property is hidden over a ridge, so after you crest the driveway, you will be pleasantly surprised by the amazing views. The driveway is dirt/gravel with some bumps, so you'll need to take it slow and easy. Cars that are low to the ground are not recommended. SUV's and Subaru type vehicles will not have any problems. This is an active cattle farm so there are cows and may be caretakers on the property. During the spring, summer and fall you can enjoy most of the riverfront without being disturbed by the wandering cattle. The river is fenced off along the entire property with several points to access the river. The cattle are not pets. Do not try to pet or feed them.
