The home was clean, beds comfortable, totally furnished kitchen (I cook from scratch), loved the river and kayaks. Wish all VRBOs were up to this standard!!! Bravo - well done :) ##### Kimberly J.

Jun 18, 2023 Liked: Cleanliness, check-in, communication, location, listing accuracy #### Family Adventure This house easily accommodated three families which included 6 adults and 4 children. The property was beautiful. The river was amazing for fishing, swimming, and kayaking. The kids loved the bunk room. This house is remotely located which we loved. There was no cell service and the internet was spotty, but we like disconnecting when on vacation so this worked for us. Kelly was responsive when there were any questions and quickly resolved a plumbing issue. Having the kayaks available were so much fun and we put in at Hootentown twice to float down the river back to the house. We loved this vacation! ##### Kaitlyn J.

It had plenty of space for our entire family of 15, a beautiful view of the river, and the kayaks and life jackets provided were amazing! We also found the host, Kelly, to be extremely responsive and kind in every message we exchanged. She was so understanding, even when we learned that we may have misplaced a remote. Would absolutely recommend this property! ##### Anne G. Stayed 4 nights in Aug 2022 ### 10/10 Excellent #### Brett t.

House is well equipped with everything you may need. Very remote. Solitude but no cell service. I was towing a boat and couldn't park it on the property due to a very narrow entrance gate. Will most surely rent this place again as a stop for our annual houseboat trip ##### Brett t. Stayed 1 night in Jun 2022 ### 10/10 Excellent #### Sandy L.
